USI: Setting up myGovID / RAM

In order to successfully configure your system to access USI functionality, external government websites will need to be visited and some processes completed.

Additional Resources:

As a precursor to the following processes, please ensure you have completed the USI System Access Request Form.

The initial steps for an RTO include registering a myGovID and then linking the business within the Relationship Authorisation Manager - this will provide you with the resources needed to get your system integrated with USI.

  • The myGovID serves as a digital identity service to allow a user to securely sign into and access government online services. It is accessed via a smartphone or tablet at the time of needing to log into a website.
  • The Relationship Authorisation Manager is a government website that allows you to set up and manage relationships and authorisations across government online services.

 Note

In order to successfully link a business within the RAM website, the principal authority of the business will likely need to access the website and complete the process. The principal authority is the person considered responsible for the business, such as the company director.

The ATO has a standard help page available to clarify the purpose of these systems available here:


As these processes are external to your system as a company, this article serves as a resource for how best to access the websites required and complete the set up process.

 Warning

ReadyTech Support is limited in the amount of assistance that can be provided for these processes - the websites and bodies involved are not managed by ReadyTech as a company.
