With over 4 million USIs already created, an increasing number of Australians will already have a USI when they next enrol in training.
The USI Office is currently trialling a new search tool which will enable RTOs to help students to find their existing USI. Please note that RTOs will still need the student’s permission prior to using this function.
Before trying to create a USI on behalf of a student, RTOs can use this simpler search tool to first determine if the student already has an existing USI. This will ensure training outcomes are recorded against the correct USI.
If RTOs have been having trouble verifying a student‘s USI, trying this simplified search tool may help retrieve the correct USI information for their student.
For more information on how to use or access this new search tool, please refer to the USI website.
