System requirements

To ensure the security of OSfA transactions, you must meet minimum security and computer requirements.

To log in, you'll need to use both:

  • myGovID – a digital identity credential to prove who you are online
  • Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) – an authorisation service that allows you to act on behalf of a business.

Each user must have their own myGovID to log in. If there is more than one user account in your practice, the principle authority must:

  • authorise staff to act on behalf the practice in RAM
  • use Access Manager to manage staff accesses to functions and records.

Your computer settings will need to meet our minimum system requirements.

To check your settings, use our Online services system requirements check.
