If you have arrived in Australia within the past six weeks, you can use your passport or visa along with a bank card or driver’s license from your home country. 

For example, you could bring a passport and a bank card from your country of origin, and that would fulfill the ID requirements. If you don’t have a passport, you could use your visa and a bank card from your home country.

Exemption Two: Still in High School 

If you are currently enrolled in high school, you can use your school ID as identification. If you don’t have a school ID, you can choose from the following options: driver’s license, birth certificate, passport, or citizenship certificate. but you must also show evidence you are in school if you are not using a school ID card. This could be by logging in to your school on your phone or showing an email etc. You only need one thing.

Exemption Three: Identify as Indigenous or Torres Strait Islander 

If you identify as Indigenous or Torres Strait Islander and do not have enough ID to meet the 100 points requirement, you can present two official references from relevant agencies.
