Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 60 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. People frequently struggled with endless login loops, frustrating password resets, and unexpected error messages when trying to access essential online government services. Consumers also complained bitterly about extremely long phone wait times, notably unhelpful customer support, and the sheer difficulty of resolving sudden account lockouts without proper assistance. Some reviewers were happy with specific staff members who handled all their inquiries politely and patiently. A few customers genuinely appreciated the calm, polite, and helpful assistance provided by certain representatives during difficult phone calls, making the otherwise frustrating process slightly more manageable.

Absolute trash website

Absolute trash website, you'd think given how much the gov spends on things, they'd invest in their own website.

Side note, entering your email on login doesn't actually work, you need to use your mygov username....

My name is Raimundo Rodrigues

My name is Raimundo Rodrigues. I was on the phone, nice and kind with oh of your staff.
She rang on me, what about her bad behaviour????
I've spent 2 full days trying to connect all the services and no one was able to help me, not well training staff,

The online service is abysmal

When I called the responder "Zachary" asked if I was fine. Given that I was tired from a flight, I responded I was fine. When he asked again and told him the truth and if we could continue and he told we to watch my tone. By with point I'd had it with the constant badgering for "respect" considering I hadn't said anything rude or misbehaved in a meaningful way.

Then I was on hold for half an hour and when the responder finally did reply, it wasn't Zachary but a woman I could barely understand, due to how softly she spoke. This meant I would have to spend time catching her up and on top of that she put me on hold AGAIN not five minutes after picking up

Has base functionality but is not up to scratch in 2026

Actually i use it often(we need too), it has all the base functionality built in. But there is still SO SO SO much more that can be done to it. This is Australia! We should have better than this.

Also there needs to built it functionality that helps when an Australian is not in Australia and need to access all these things, instead of calling and being stuck with roaming charges, more thought and functionality should be built in to handle those types of cases. If we are overseas and wasted all our roaming data trying to contact Australian government departments on the phone, this is 2026 and there should be more ease of use build in and access to real humans and without the need for telephone calls if the person is out of Australia for example.

There is nothing more annoying than having to spend hours on a call (sometimes on hold for an hour) to a Aus Govt department, when overseas and wasting all this roaming money.

There is no reason all this cant be built into this APP and website and save Australians some money in the process. Cost of living in Aus is already high, adding that kind of stuff to the APP and website would be a great idea.

This app and website drive me to tears

This app and website drive me to tears! I can’t get in, no matter how many times I reset my password (which can contain spaces but not underscores or periods- wth?), whether I use my email or username, and whether I get a code from my email address or a text message I cannot get in! For gods sake, all I want is to see if I’m due for a Covid booster- why is this so hard?

Ongoing issues and hate that I can’t deal with ATO direct but have to go via this awful app.

So many issues including just truly stupid glitches, eg. Read all my emails and deleted but still appear on app as a notification

Also does not link properly with Revenue NSW and so cannot validate my identity with my drivers licence

The dual my gov and ID is truly evil

I would give it no stars

I would give it no stars! Get it sorted! Wanting to pay a tax bill but The myGov website and app are a nightmare. I've been stuck in endless loop of failed logins, resets, and error messages for hours. Why can't I just login you send me a sms code for me to enter and then I'm in like every other site that works perfectly. I've tried pass key and Digital Id and password - none work

Worst web access ever. If this was the private sector people would have been fired and the company folded. I have a recent masters degree in cybersecurity so I know my stuff. TERRIBLE just TERRIBLE!

The most frustrating website ever.

The most frustrating website ever.
I spent 2 hours trying to get into my gov, than another 2 trying to link my services together, and I got locked for an hour because it doesn't recognised those same numbers and details that it gave me in the first place!! So frustrating! I have been trying to link those services to get some money back from some appointment that I had and it is taking forever TO GET THROUGH! I can't believe that in 2025 a website can be so useless and frustrating.

Agggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

Agggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!
Disgraceful.
My husband and I have spent 2 hours trying to get on MyGov.
We both own businesses speak English.
I feel for people who don’t speak good English, or the elderly that struggle with computers then you have the homeless, what about them.
It is an embarrassment to Australia for us to have such an unprofessional system.
It is absolutely not user friendly!

Extremely disappointed to get in myGov

I needed to get into my gov to get my Medicare details as the Medicare app is closed down. I’ve wasted hours trying to get into myGov. And still not in. Absolutely useless system and I’m reasonably tech savvy. How would old people ever get into their information out othis system is beyond me.

Nothing but problems & convoluted process

Login issues with code supplied via phone, My ID is even worse, as it doesn't work when it's stock standard without an array of id. Locked out of your account? Recovery is near impossible - you'll be on the phone for ages. Making a new account is impossible without accessing your old account. How are essential services to access your own information this bricked? This whole system needs work from the ground up. 😡

Failed Attempt at Writing an Important Program

A complete nightmare written by learner programmers as a draft at best. A great way to waste a few days of your life navigating their endless loops. You need a crystal ball to work out how to proceed on to the next screen. When you phone them, they employ staff to sympathise with those who wrote it saying it is to combat scammers.

Broken Website – Passwords and Passkeys Both Fail

The myGov website and app are a complete mess. Logging in is a constant nightmare, the system cannot recognise the correct password, and the reset process doesn’t even work. To make things worse the passkey login option doesn’t function properly on the website or on iPhone which just adds more frustration. You end up stuck in endless loops of failed logins, resets, and error messages. For a platform that’s meant to be the central access point for essential government services, the experience is outdated, unreliable and far below the standard Australians should expect. Needs to be fixed asap

This App/website is hopeless

This App/website is hopeless. i can't access anything im owed because the website is always either down, not providing up-to-date contact information or requires numbers I no longer have access to, you would think to remedy this you could provide a quick solution to update this contact information providing secret answers or email...but nope. please fix this website as the reviews speak volumes to the level of service we are all receiving both Australians and foreigners.

Our taxes at work!

At random times my gov decides it no longer likes the password that has worked numerous times and locks me out. It then doesn't allow me to reset anything as no reset code is ever sent to my email or my mobile (why??) I literally just completed my tax return without changing any log in details, so there is no reason for this to be an issue. Why can't governments ever get tech right??? My Gov should sack its IT team. I understand the need for security but users ought to be able to USE it. Tomorrow I am going to physically go to my Federal MPs office and make them fix it. My gov is too hard to communicate with. Try to phone them haha!
