This step-by-step guide will show you how to register your company on the Jobactive website.

 

To register for a new Jobactive account, you will need:
1. Set up a myGovID
2. Link your ABN with Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM)
3. Sign in with myGovID

 

Set up a myGovID

Please follow instructions on this page to set up a myGovID for your business if you do not currently have one. You will need a smart phone and a personal email address. Then follow these three steps:

1. Download the myGovID app

Download the myGovID app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

2. Enter your details

Open the myGovID app and follow the prompts. You need to enter your full name, date of birth and email address.

After entering these details you’ll have a Basic identity strength. A Basic identity strength only allows access to limited government online services; while a Standard identity strength allows access to all participating government online services

3. Verify your identity documents

A Standard identity strength requires you to verify two of the following Australian identity documents (your name must match on both):

• driver’s licence or learner’s permit
• passport
• birth certificate
• visa (using your foreign passport)
• citizenship certificate
• ImmiCard
• Medicare card – once you verify one of the documents above in the app, you’ll have the option to add your Medicare card.

The personal information from your identity documents are checked against existing government records to confirm your identity. If your name doesn’t match across your two identity documents, you may be able to verify this using a change of name certificate (Tasmania, South Australia, Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory only) or marriage certificate.2

Before expiry, you’ll receive reminders to the email address you used when linking to the business, as well as a notification in RAM to remind you to renew.

WARNING: Jobactive Date Error

Currently there is an issue if you update or edit a Jobactive advert once it is active, the posting date resets. This means that in order to evidence that the Jobactive listing has been active for 28 days, the advert would need to be listed for a further four weeks from the date it was updated/edited to satisfy the labour market testing criteria.

The Workaround: If you need to list the advert for longer to ensure that it has been posted for 28 consecutive days, you can extend the expiry date through the My Jobs section, which is accessible through the dashboard. You can select Extend from the ‘Manage Job’ drop down selection.
