What is an AUSkey
A new key to access government online services
AUSkey is a single key to access government online services. In the future, you may no longer need different user IDs and passwords as AUSkey becomes accepted by more government agencies for their online services.
We encourage you to register for an AUSkey as soon as is convenient so you can take advantage of its many benefits.
Register for an AUSkey now and:
- decrease the number of user IDs and passwords you need to maintain
- lodge reports to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and all state and territory revenue offices through SBR-enabled business and accounting software
- login to government online services including ATO portals
- lodge on behalf of your clients.
Features
- Fast and easy online registration: In most cases, you can use your AUSkey almost immediately.
- Flexible installation options: Install your AUSkey on your computer, a USB stick, your organisation’s server or a combination of these.
- Online management facility: View, and update your details, cancel passwords and more.
- Automatic renewal: As long as you use your AUSkey at least once a year, it will not expire.
