Forsythes Training is aware of its contractual responsibilities under Smart and Skilled with regard to the Fee and Refund administration requirements. To ensure compliance with the requirements we have put the following procedures in place:
From January 2015 it is a requirement that all students in Australia have a Unique Student Identifier (USI)
The USI will be a lifelong number which will enable your records and results obtained after Jan 1 2015 to be collected in an online system. By having a USI you will be able to access your training records and results (or transcript) whenever you need to.
You must have a USI before a RTO can issue Certificates or Statements of Attainment.
The Department of Industry has developed the following video to help students access a USI:

There are two ways to create an USI:
This can be done by going to https://www.usi.gov.au/students/create-your-usi and following some simple steps:
To create a USI, you will be required to provide:
Form of ID: Options are: Driver License, Medicare card, Australian Passport, Visa (with Non-Australian passport) for international students, Birth Certificate (Australian), Certificate of Registration by Descent, Citizenship Certificate,
To enable a USI to be created on your behalf you will need to give your permission and you will be required to sign a Privacy Notice to this effect.
Your Unique Student Identifier (USI) contains personal information, contact details and your training records and results. The USI system has been designed to keep this information safe and secure and is only accessed by the organisations and employers you allow to access your records.
The personal information that you provide to the Student Identifiers Registrar is collected, used, and may be disclosed, in accordance with the provisions of the Student Identifiers Act 2014 and the Privacy Act 1988. The Student Identifiers Registrar’s Privacy Policy provides information about the protection of your information, including how you can access and seek correction of your personal information held by the Student Identifiers Registrar and how to make a complaint about a breach of your privacy and how such complaints are handled.
You will be required to set access controls to allow the Department of Education and Communities and Forsythes Training the appropriate levels of access to your USI records
