All students undertaking nationally recognised training MUST obtain a Unique Student Identifier (USI).

The USI is a unique reference number that creates a secure online record of your training and qualifications gained – you only need one as it stays with you for life. Your USI will give you access to your training records and transcripts online at anytime and anywhere. Without a USI, training providers cannot enroll you correctly or issue you with your Statement of Attainment or Qualification.

How to get a USI?

It is free and easy for students to create their own USI online and there are helpful “how to” instructions available on the

USI website – www.usi.gov.au

 To create a USI, you will need to provide a valid form of identification – below is a list of acceptable forms of ID that can be used:

• Australian Passport
• Non-Australian Passport (with Australian Visa)
• Australian Birth Certificate
• Australian Driver’s Licence (Learner’s Permit) 
• Medicare Card
• Certificate of Registration by Decent
• Citizenship Certificate
• ImmiCard

We encourage students to where possible, use a personal email address when creating their USI login. If a student needs to reset a password or retrieve login details post school, having a school email address could make it difficult.

Students are also encouraged to save their USI in an easily accessible space for future reference – perhaps saved in an email folder or as a contact in your phone.
