Unique Student Identifier

Unique Student Identifier (USI)

Since 1 January 2015, the Australian Government has required every student enrolled in nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI).

From 1 January 2021, this requirement also applies to higher education students accessing Commonwealth support, and from 2023, it applies to all students graduating with an Australian higher education award.

What is a USI?

Why is it Required?

• Access a secure, government-managed digital training record
