WAFIC members get early chance to try myAMSA platform
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has extended an early invitation to WAFIC members to try myAMSA – the new online application portal for Near Coastal certificates of competency.
You can access myAMSA here using your government digital MyID login.
myAMSA uses the Australian Government’s Digital Identity verification app, myID, to allow users to securely log into their myAMSA account.
Those without a myID app can quickly set one up here.
AMSA has been developing the online application portal for Near Coastal certificates of competency with the goal of saving seafarers time by enabling seafarers to apply online for their tickets instead of having to travel to an Australia Post outlet to apply in person.
While myAMSA is currently a beta (test) product, all transactions in the portal are legitimate. All applications received through myAMSA (beta) will be processed. If approved, a Near Coastal certificate of competency will be issued in the mail.
AMSA would also welcome any feedback on the beta platform.
Feedback is crucial to refining the portal so please send your comments to [email protected]
You can find more information here, or read more about the beta platform development here.
