When you enter HousingVic online services, you will be asked to verify who you are. By completing the online identity verification process, you will be able to access all online services. If you do not register, you will only have access to apply for social housing or a RentAssist bond loan. 

How does online identity verification work?

• From the HousingVic Online Services screen you will be asked to verify who you are by answering a series of questions relevant to your DHHS housing services.
• After answering the questions correctly you will be sent a verification code either to your email or mobile by sms.
• Once you enter the verification code in the HousingVic Online Services screen, you can then consent to receive your correspondence via Digital mail delivered to the myGov inbox.

If online identity verification is not possible or you are registering in person at a DHHS housing office you must complete the following steps:

• Provide 100 points of identity - examples of the types of documents accepted can be found on Proof of identity.
• A housing staff member will then provide you with a unique client identification number and a verification code which will be sent to your email or mobile by sms.
• Once you have entered both codes in the HousingVic Online Services screen, you can then consent to receive your correspondence via Digital mail.
