Your USI.

Every student doing nationally recognised training in Australia needs a Unique Student Identifier. Get yours before you enrol. It is free and takes about 10 minutes.

What is a USI?

A USI is a reference number made of letters and numbers that belongs only to you. Think of it as a tax file number, but for training.

Since 1 January 2015, every student in nationally recognised training needs one. All your training from that date is recorded against it, so you can see and share your full training record in one place.

  • It is free.
  • It stays with you for life, whatever course or provider you choose.
  • We cannot issue your certificate or Statement of Attainment without it.

How to get your USI

  1. Have one form of ID ready: Australian passport, driver’s licence, Medicare card, birth certificate, visa (with a non-Australian passport) or ImmiCard.
  2. Go to usi.gov.au and create your USI. It takes about 10 minutes.
  3. Write it down and give it to us when you enrol.

Already have one but forgot it? Use Find your USI.
