Protect your identity
Identity matters
Your identity is important. Individuals, businesses and government all have a role to play in building resilient and secure identities. In collaboration with state and territory governments, we have developed new webpages that provide a central point to access useful resources on protecting identities and responding to identity theft. This work is part of the Identity Resilience Education and Awareness initiative under the National Strategy for Identity Resilience.
