Your PMKeyS Number

With the implementation of the Personnel Management Key Solutions (PMKeyS), all ADF members were issued with a new identification number, known as an Employee ID or PMKeyS number. This new number is used for administrative purposes.

Have your PMKeyS number within reach during phone calls to your Career Manager, because you may be asked to provide it.

Until the Defence Force pay system is transferred to PMKeyS all pay related administration and transactions require Regimental Numbers.
