What is an Aged Care ID and what do I do with it?

When you register with My Aged Care for the first time, you are given an Aged Care ID. This is an important number to have to hand whenever you interact with My Aged Care, as it can be used to help prove your identity. This includes when you sign into your My Aged Care Online Account for the first time.

Your Aged Care ID begins with the letters AC, followed by 8 digits. For example, AC12345678. If you misplace it, you can find it by logging in to your Online Account. It appears right under your name on the homepage of your Online Account.
