A Message From USI

Link your USI to myGov

Students can now link their USI account to their myGov account.

By linking their USI account within myGov, students can use a single secure sign-in to conveniently access other linked government services – such as Centrelink, Medicare or the Australian Taxation Office.

Students can still log in to the USI Student Portal the same way they did before. Linking their USI account within myGov gives students more ways to access their USI.

Whether students are viewing and sharing their USI VET transcript or updating their details, accessing their USI has never been easier.

Students will need an active USI account before they can link their USI to myGov.

Showcase your skills and qualifications with a USI VET transcript 

Since 2015, anyone undertaking Nationally Recognised Training has been required to get a Unique Student Identifier (USI). Each USI is unique and allows students to access Vocational Education and Training (VET) student loans and is a requirement to issue their certificate or award.

Importantly, USI account holders can also access an authenticated USI VET transcript containing all VET qualifications undertaken since 2015 in one document. A VET transcript allows students to view and share evidence of skills and qualifications in a trusted and seamless manner – either by downloading a copy of the VET transcript or digitally sharing an extract or full version with a training organisation, employer or licencing body.

A VET transcript helps students showcase their qualifications when applying for jobs or seeking a credit transfer. The information within a VET transcript has been authenticated by the Australian Government, allowing organisations to confidently confirm prior learning and reassuring employers that their prospective employee has the skills and qualifications needed for the job.

Encourage your students to access their USI VET transcript. Visit the USI website to find out more.
