What is an AVC ID and why does it matter?
Last Updated: Tuesday 15 Apr 2025
An AVC ID (Access Virtual Circuit Identifier) is a unique code that identifies your nbn® connection.
Every nbn service has its own AVC ID. It’s a 15-character code that starts with AVC, followed by 12 numbers. For example, ‘AVC123456789100’.
If your service is on the Opticomm network, you’ll have an OAC ID instead. It works the same way, just with different letters.
Why does this matter?
From April 2025, nbn® requires you to provide your AVC ID in some cases, like when you're switching providers and taking over an existing connection.
It helps:
Confirm you’re authorised to transfer the service
Avoid delays or incorrect disconnections
Identify the right connection when there are multiple services at the same address
Only you and your provider can see your AVC ID. This helps protect your service from being transferred without your authorisation.
How to find your AVC ID
If you're already with Aussie Broadband, here's where to look:
1. On your invoice
It’s listed on page two, next to your service address.
2. In the MyAussie app or portal
Log in to MyAussie
Tap Home
Tap Services
Choose your NBN service. The AVC ID will appear under or next to your service address
If you're with another provider
Check your invoice or online account near your service address.
When signing up with Aussie, we’ll only ask for the last 5 digits.
You can find your OAC ID:
In your MyAussie app or online portal if you're already with us
Or in your current provider’s online account or invoice if you're switching to Aussie
