Follow our step-by-step guide to creating your CommunityHub account and setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) to help keep your account secure.

Step 1

Installing an authenticator app

In line with the Australian Government’s cybercrime advice, you will need two things each time you log in to your CommunityHub account: Your password and a 6-digit login code from an authenticator app.

If you don’t have an authenticator app on your device (e.g. smartphone or tablet), you will need to install one before activating your account.

Many different authenticator apps are available, but if this is your first time installing one, we have included step-by-step guides for the Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator apps.

Please click on the Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator app sections below to see how to download it to your device.

Clicking the 'Activate your account' button will open CommunityHub for the first time in your browser, where you will start setting up your CommunityHub account.

Step 3

Set a new password

You will be asked to enter a new password to set up your account.

Please ensure your new password fulfils the prompted requirements and click the ‘Set password’ button to continue.

Your new password should now be successfully set up. Next, click on the ‘Continue’ button to navigate back to the main page.

To link your account, open your chosen authenticator app from step 1 to scan the QR code. Please note that using the normal camera app will not work for this. This would then generate a six-digit one-time code that you can put into your ‘Enter 6 digit-code from your app’ field in the CommunityHub set up page. If your app is on the same device you are logging into, or you can't scan QR codes, skip to step 5 to manually type in a code instead.
