The Schools USI project is a national enabling initiative in the Better and Fairer Schools Agreement 2025–2034 (BFSA). The initiative expands the national USI system operating currently in the vocational education and training (VET) and higher education sectors to the school education sector. Once fully implemented, a unique number will be assigned to all primary and secondary school students in Australia, including students in alternative schooling arrangements such as homeschooling. This unique national number will be able to travel with a student throughout their school years and into VET and higher education. Implementation of the Schools USI national enabling initiative will continue in 2026 consistent with the BFSA schedule, with all school students to receive a USI by the end of 2027.
