Why is Identity Verification important?

Protecting customer information is important to the NHVR.  One of the steps to protect customers is to require all users of the registration services to be verified using Australia Post’s Digital ID service. This service is a secure, safe and simple way to prove who you are online. 

For general information about Digital iD, visit the Australia Post Digital iD website

https://www.digitalid.com/

From 18 October 2018, to use the Registration service customers will be asked to click on the ‘Verify Identity’ button, which will launch the Digital iD process.

Other security tips

• regularly check the users who have access to the customer account and disabling ex-employees or users that no longer need access to the customer account.
• regularly check data request logs and keeping an eye on the user activity in the customer account.
• regularly  change administrator passwords e.g. every 3 months
• ensure that any downloaded information (CSVs, PDFs and print outs) are securely stored and disposed of according to your business' record management practices.
