Changes to AusKey and Business Portal Access

By

The Australian Government is developing new digital services to transform the way Australians interact with government. These services are:

  • myGovID – an authentication service that allows you to prove who you are online
  • Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) – an authorisation service that allows you to link your myGovID to an ABN and manage who can act on behalf of your business online.

From March 2020, myGovID and RAM are scheduled to replace AUSkey. They provide secure, simple and flexible access to government online services.

To find out more about myGovID, click here for more information.
