How to access mywater

If you hold a water instrument (licence, approval or permit) in South Australia, or you want to transact on behalf of a person or organisation that holds a water instrument, you can now request a mywater login so that you can manage your water activities online.

You can also request a mywater login if you would like to apply for water related permits (e.g., water affecting activity permits or well construction permits) online in future.

Before requesting a mywater login, we recommend you review the relevant fact sheets appropriate to your situation:

• mywater for Well Construction Permits
• Information for people who own water licences
• Information for people who own water licences jointly with other people or organisations
• Information for people who manage water licences for other people or organisations

A mywater login enables the person with a login to apply to deal with water instruments and water rights recorded in the Water Register, collectively valued at over $8 billion. Maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the Water Register is critical.

The Department for Environment and Water therefore requires all persons who request a mywater login to go through an identity assurance process. This will help the department to ensure that only holders and/or their authorised agents or representatives are permitted to apply to deal with the water instruments and water rights recorded in the Water Register, via mywater.

Why get a mywater login?
