What is the process for obtaining a Unique Student Identifier?
The Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a 10-character reference number required for students enrolling in nationally recognized training across Australia. To obtain your USI, start by visiting the official website at usi.gov.au. Before you begin the application, ensure you have one valid form of identification ready, such as a Medicare Card, Australian Driver’s License, or Australian Passport. Once on the website, click “Create your USI” and follow the on-screen prompts to provide your personal details exactly as they appear on your chosen ID. This step is important because the system will use these details to verify your identity electronically.
After you submit your information, your USI will appear on the screen, and you will receive a confirmation message by email or text if you provided those contact details. It is recommended that you store your USI securely, as you will need it whenever you enrol in any recognised training course. You can also use it to access and keep track of your training records online.
