A USI is your lifelong education number, and is issued by the government. From 1 January 2021, new higher education students will need a Unique Student Identifier (USI) in order to be eligible for Commonwealth assistance (Commonwealth supported place (CSP) and/or HELP loan). If you have previously completed any VET or TAFE study, you may already have a USI. To apply for a new USI (or find your existing USI), simply go here. It will take about 5 minutes to complete and you will need at least one form of valid identification. You will also need to ensure that the following details you provide to obtain your USI are the same details that are held by the ATO and Centrelink (if applicable): full legal name, address, and tax file number. Those with an existing USI will need to check that their details match across all three and update if necessary. Further information can be found here.
USI: Unique Student Identifier

If you have studied previously and have a USI, please provide it.
