This month, you may notice a change to Online services for agents. In addition to being able to view Pay as you go (PAYG) instalments, you can now also:

• view further registration details such as the instalment amount
• self-service to register, add, update and cancel PAYG instalments for your eligible clients.
  

The name has changed – but not how you use it.

The change is occurring over a phased rollout. You may see both myID and myGovID when using your app to log in to participating government online services, such as Online services for agents. This won’t affect your access and your Digital ID will remain fully functional and secure during this time.

You’ll still have:

• your same login details and identity strength
• continued use – the existing app will automatically update, or you can manually update it from the App Store or Google Play once available
• the same authorisations in RAM
• secure access to a range of government online services
• the change to myID aims to reduce the confusion between myGovID and myGov.

Remember, there’s no need to set up a new myID or reconfirm your details. If you’ve been asked to do this in a message, email or by visiting a website, it’s a scam.

If you’re experiencing an issue with myID, visit http://www.myid.gov.au/help

Following the government’s recent Payday Super announcement, from 1 July 2026 the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) will be closed. This may impact your employer clients.

Be wary of myGovID/myID scams. There’s no need to set up a new myID or reconfirm your details. If you’ve been asked to do this in a message, email or by visiting a website, it’s a scam.

From 13 November, myGovID will have a new name and new look. You don’t need to do anything to prepare for the change. Your myGovID app should automatically update to myID on your device; RAM links and authorisations will not be affected.

As we get closer to the date, you’ll also notice the Online services for agents login page looks different. Always access Online services for agents by directly typing the URL into a browser or via the ATO website.
