Where can I get help with myID?
myID is the Australian Government’s Digital ID app. It is a secure way to prove who you are online.
You need a myID to sign in to the applicant portal.
If you don't already have one, visit the myID website to learn how to set up myID(Opens in a new tab/window).
If you don't want to use myID and the applicant portal, contact us for other options.
Can I swap from an online application in the portal to an offline application?
If you start an online application and wish to swap to an offline application, make sure you withdraw your online application first. Your offline application will not progress if your online application has not been withdrawn.
