    Acting on behalf of someone in MyACC for Business

    When you're using MyACC for Business either representing an Agent or Advisor organisation or with delegated access, you’re saying that you’re authorised to do so by the levy payer for whom you're using the service.

    Agent or advisor organisation users

    An agent or advisor organisation can apply for access to MyACC for Business which provides access to levy payer information. 

    As an agent or advisor you must:

    • accept that your organisation is bound by these terms of use and the privacy policy
    • make sure that all users accessing online services on behalf of your organisation have the authority to do so
    • accept responsibility for any actions undertaken using online services by all users connected to your account
    • have written authority to act on behalf of any levy payer linked to your portfolio
    • ensure that access is immediately revoked for any staff that leave your organisation.

    Administrator access

    At registration, you must nominate an administrator.

    The administrator can set up user accounts for other members of your organisation. These members need to access online services using their own RealMe login before they can activate their user account.

    Advisor administrators can:

    • create and manage portfolios
    • manage access for other users from their organisation.
    • de-link clients from the organisation's portfolio

    Agent organisation administrators can also:

    • create and manage portfolios
    • manage access for other users from their organisation
    • link clients to the organisation’s portfolio
    • de-link clients from the organisation’s portfolio

    If you're self-linking to your levy payer clients, explicit authorisation to act on their behalf must have been provided through your engagement with them. We may ask for evidence of this at any time. If evidence cannot be provided or the levy payer reports you have accessed their information without their authorisation, your organisation’s account may be suspended.
