How to set up and log into your SmartCard eIM app and online account

About this resource

Setting up your online account

If you’re using your phone or another mobile device, you can download the SmartCard eIM app or TCU SmartCard eIM app. Open the App Store or Google Play and search ‘SmartCard eIM’. Choose the app based on the SmartCard you have.

If you’re using a computer, you can access your online account. Go to smartcard.com.au, or if you have a TCU SmartCard, go to tcu.com.au/smartcard. Click the ‘Account login’ page.
You can set up your online account yourself when you are activating a SmartCard.

In this example we will show you the SmartCard eIM app.

Open the SmartCard eIM app and select the ‘Menu’ on the top right-hand side of the screen.

Choose ‘Activate your card’. You’ll need your SmartCard and the activation code you got in the mail with your card.

Enter the Card ID printed on the back of your SmartCard. Enter the activation code that’s in your letter. Read and accept the ‘Conditions of Use’ by selecting the checkbox, then click ‘Submit’.

Next you need to verify your identity.

Enter:

your Centrelink Customer Reference Number (CRN)
your date of birth, for example 01/01/1980
the main payment you get from Centrelink, and
your regular bank account number.

Make sure you double-check your details before clicking ‘Submit’ as you only have 3 chances to verify your identity correctly.

Once your identity is verified, you can set up your online account. You can choose to use your email address or account number as your username. If you choose email address, it needs to be your own email address. If you choose account number, it will automatically fill in for you.

Create a password, security question and answer, then click ‘Continue’.

Create a Personal Identification Number (PIN) for your SmartCard. Remember to create a PIN that cannot be easily guessed by other people. Confirm your PIN by entering it again and click the green button.

You have now set up your online account, and your SmartCard is active and ready for use.

Logging in

In the SmartCard eIM app, select the ‘Menu’ on the top right-hand side of the screen and then click ‘Login’.

Enter your username. This will be your email address or your account number.

Enter your Password. You can click the ‘Remember me’ box for a fast and easy log in next time. Don’t click this if you share your device with other people.

Now click ‘Login’.

Forgot Password

If you forget your password, you can reset it by selecting the ‘Forgot your password?’ link on the login page. Enter your username, then click ‘Submit’.

We’ll send you an email with a link to reset your password. Click on this link and answer the security question you chose when you set up your online account.

Enter a new password and then use it to log into your account.

If you need help or more information, go to servicesaustralia.gov.au/smartcard, call 1800 252 604 (you can ask for an interpreter if you need one), or visit a service centre.

If you have a TCU SmartCard, go to tcu.com.au/smartcard, call TCU on 1800 828 232, or visit a TCU branch.
