One login, thousands of trusted services. Federation gives your staff, students and researchers secure access to the platforms they need, using the account they already have.

The same trusted login, extended beyond Australia. eduGAIN connects your organisation to more than 80 federations and thousands of services worldwide.

A trusted identity option for people who don’t have an institutional login of their own — so no one’s left outside the network.

Allowing service providers to verify someone’s university or institution affiliation instantly – cutting out the need for manual checks and unnecessary handling of personal data.

From a national sovereign Trust and Identity capability for Australia, to a national PID strategy, see the work AAF is leading to shape the future of trust and identity for Australian teaching, learning and research.

AAF’s Federation connects over 1.5 million people a year to Australia‘s Higher Education and Research ecosystem.
It keeps working quietly in the background, at 99.9% availability, soindividuals can focus on the work (not the access).

From Universities and research institutions to service and platform providers, government bodies and industry contacts – AAF’s technology offers a highly secure and reliable way to access resources and services.
