The Australian Government is working to provide individuals with a secure, convenient, voluntary and inclusive way to verify their ID online. 

Australia's Digital ID System is already well established with: 

  • millions of Australians already using the Australian Government’s Digital ID app, myGovID 
  • more than 130 government services have the option available to login with a myGovID 
  • four private sector digital ID service providers accredited under the Trusted Digital Identity Framework (TDIF) 

But there’s a lot happening to strengthen and expand Digital ID in Australia: 

  • Legislation is being developed to provide strong regulation for accredited Digital ID providers to make sure they keep your information private and secure, if you choose to create and reuse a Digital ID to access services. 
  • More digital ID service providers are seeking and achieving accreditation under the government’s program. 
  • More and more services across Commonwealth, state and territory are connecting to Digital ID to provide a more secure way to access the service, offering more ways you can use your Digital ID.

Set it up once, then reuse it to prove who you are.
