UNIQUE STUDENT IDENTIFIER (USI)

 

PLEASE NOTE, YOU DO NOT NEED A USI TO MAKE YOUR BOOKING. YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE YOUR USI BEFORE ATTENDING YOUR TRAINING SESSION

 

Effective from January 1st 2015 the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) have agreed to the implementation of a specially designed tool called the Unique Student Identifier (USI) to provide all students in Australia with the ability to obtain a complete record of their Vocational Education and Training (VET) enrolments and achievements from a single source.

All students enrolled in nationally recognised training, will be required to provide their registered training organisation (RTO) with their USI. Registering for a USI is simple and the registration process is available online and at no cost to the student. This USI will stay with the student for life and be recorded with any nationally recognised VET course that is undertaken. `

Students can now create a USI by following the process below:

  1. Log on to http://portal.usi.gov.au/student
  2. When applying for a USI, students will be required to supply one of the following valid Australian forms of ID:
    Driver's Licence
    Medicare Card
    Australian Passport
    Visa (with Non-Australian Passport)
    Birth Certificate (Australian)
    Certificate Of Registration By Descent
    Citizenship Certificate

We recommend that you or your colleagues register for a USI now, prior to attending the training course.
