AUSkey due to retire next year

It will be replaced by:

• myGovID – a way to prove who you are online as an individual, and for your practice
• Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) – lets you manage who can act on your behalf. You will be able to use Access Manager from within RAM.

You can continue to use your AUSkey to access the ATO’s online services while myGovID and RAM are being developed.

The ATO has been testing myGovID and RAM with tax and BAS agents and small businesses. They will use the feedback they receive to ensure the solution meets your needs.

Together, myGovID and RAM offer a secure, simple and more flexible mobile authorisation solution. The change is part of the Digital Transformation Agency’s digital identity program GovPass, aiming to make government online services quick and easy to use. The ATO will advise about further developments with myGovID and RAM.
