how do i find my usi number

You can find your USI (Unique Student Identifier) number in a few simple ways if you’ve done nationally recognised training in Australia since 2015.

Quick Scoop: How to find your USI

1. Use the official USI website

Go to the official Australian government USI site (usi.gov.au) and choose the option to “Find your USI” or similar wording.

You’ll then be given several ways to look it up:

• Email address linked to your USI account (they’ll email your USI).

• Mobile number linked to your USI account (they’ll text your USI).

• Personal details + check questions you set up when you created the account (your USI appears on screen).

• Personal details + an ID document such as a driver licence, Medicare card, or passport (your USI appears on screen).

Make sure the details you enter (name, date of birth, etc.) match exactly what you used when you first created your USI account.

2. If you forgot your USI completely

If you don’t remember whether you ever made one, the same “Find your USI” path on usi.gov.au will check if an account exists under your details.

You can also search “I forgot my USI” in your browser and follow the official usi.gov.au link; they’ll then email or text your USI to you after verifying your identity.

3. Still stuck?

If none of the online options work (for example, you no longer have access to your old email or phone), you can contact the USI support team by phone for help recovering it.

They may ask you for personal details and ID information to confirm your identity before telling you your USI.

4. If you don’t have a USI yet

If it turns out you never created one, you can apply for a new USI on usi.gov.au in a few minutes using your ID documents, like an Australian licence, Medicare card, or passport.

Once created, your USI is free, valid for life, and used across all your training in Australia.

TL;DR:
Go to usi.gov.au → choose “Find your USI” → verify using your email, mobile, or personal details and ID → your USI is then shown on screen, emailed, or texted to you.
