Use the myGov Access app

myGov Access is an app which gives you an alternative secure way to sign in to myGov. It creates a one-time access code on your mobile device.

You can use it instead of the SMS code or answering one of your secret questions.

myGov Access creates a one-time access code. Enter this code after your username and password.

It’s a great option if you can’t get the SMS code to sign in. For example, if you’re overseas or in a remote area can’t get an SMS to your mobile phone number.
