Register for Online Services

Create a myGov account to access a range of government online services including Medicare, Centrelink and Child Support with one username and password.

Centrelink customers have the option of registering directly with Centrelink Online Services or through their myGov account, unless you are a Centrelink nominee, using Express Plus apps or do not have a CRN.

How to create a myGov account

Watch our demonstration videos about how to create a myGov account or follow these steps:

1. go to the myGov website
2. accept the terms of use
3. fill in your contact details
4. create a password and three secret questions
5. receive your username

If you already use online services it is easy to link them to your myGov account.

If you are new to online services you can set up your online accounts through myGov in one simple process. You will be asked a number of questions to make sure myGov links the record that belongs to you. The questions are based on information that you have already given to the service and can include:

• your customer reference number for Centrelink
• your Medicare card
• your Child Support case ID number
• your bank account details
• the date of your last claim or payment, if any
