AUSKEY no more - better get myGovID
Perrier Ryan • February 6, 2020

The way you access government online services is changing. At the end of March 2020 myGovID and Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) will replace AUSkey and Manage ABN Connections (your ABN connected to your myGov). Together, these new services provide a secure, simple and flexible way to access government online services.

myGovID is the Australian Government's digital identity provider to prove who you are online - just like the 100 point ID check ... on your smart device.

RAM is the authorisation service that allows you to act on behalf of an entity with participating government online services.

Entities that don't have an individual listed as an associate on the ABN in the Australian Business Register (ABR), for example corporate trustees, subsidiary companies executors or Australian charities and not-for-profits, will need to ensure the primary person links the entity.

The primary person will be the Associate/Director for the corporate trustee or subsidiary company (for the non-individual associate) or the Responsible Person for a Not-for-profit. As the primary person they will need to do the following:

  1. Set up their myGovID.

  2. Call 1300 287 539 and select option 3 to link the ABN in RAM. The ATO will check that the person is eligible to link the business and manually process the request.

  3. The person will require access to their email to complete the linking process. Once the ABN is linked, they can start setting up and managing authorisations for others.

The whole process starts with an app, downloaded from the AppStore or Googe Play.
