    You will be automatically redirected to identity.gov.au, where you will be presented with secure login options. To log in, select ‘Digital ID’.

    Step 3:

    If you’ve never used Digital ID before, you will need to follow the steps detailed on the image below. This involves downloading the Digital ID app, proving who you are in the app and then returning to this page. These steps should only take a couple of minutes to set up. Once you’re set up with Digital ID, or if you already have the Digital ID app, type your Digital ID email into the box below and click ‘Login’. 

    Optionally, you can tick ‘Remember me’ to remember your email for next time.

    Step 4: 

    You should now see a random four (4) digit number. This will be the prompt for you to open the Digital ID app. Enter the code on your screen into the Digital ID app.

    Once you’ve successfully entered in the code, the website will redirect you to the Relationship Authorisation Manager where you can select the business that you would like to login under. 

    Step 5:

    On the Relationship Authorisation Manager screen, you can select from business accounts that you can act for. To access the correct account information in the QRIDA MyAccount Portal, you must select the business account that has the same ABN as the one used in your QRIDA account.

    Once you’ve successfully completed this step, the website will redirect you back to the QRIDA MyAccount portal, and you will now be securely logged in with Digital ID.
