Get your USI
A USI is your individual education number for life. It also gives you an online record of your vocational education and training (VET) undertaken in Australia.
If you’re at university, TAFE or doing other nationally recognised training, you need a USI. Without one, you can’t get Commonwealth financial assistance or your qualification or statement of attainment.
Your USI is your unique education number made up of 10 letters and numbers. It can be all letters but never all numbers. You only need to create it once and you have it for life.
You can create your USI in the Student Portal, it takes less than 5 minutes and there is no minimum age requirement.
To create a USI, you’ll need a valid form of verifiable Australian identification. Use the same verifiable identification document/s across your USI, tax file number and myGov account.
