Queensland transitions to new digital identity system
On 6 April, the Queensland Government completed a transition to a new digital ID, QDI, replacing the previous QGov system as a single point of access for logging on to online government services. Queensland citizens will now need a Queensland Digital Identity (known as QDI) to use Queensland Government online services.
The Queensland Government says that QDI is “a modern, robust and innovative system which meets the highest national standards and security protocols for digital identities”.
QDI accepts a wider range of documents than its predecessor, including international identity documents such as birth certificates and passports. It integrates multi-factor authentication via SMS or an authenticator app, and supports passkey functionality so that users can set up local biometric login on their devices.
The change is not an update, but rather a complete replacement for the QGov system.
