Rail Industry Worker (myRIW)

1	Go to https://app.riw.net.au/MySkillGuard/Account/LogOn and log in using your credentials. If you have not yet created your myRIW profile, please follow the instructions in How does a cardholder create a myRIW profile?
2	Click on Site Eligibility on the home dashboard.
3	From the Site Eligibility screen, you can choose to select a site either by Name (defualt selection) or Hierarchy

Click on a site to view additional information.
5	Alternatively, you are also able to search by Hierarchy. Searching by hierarchy means you will first need to select: Select Network (e.g. MTM, ARTC, TfNSW), then Select Project Name, then Select Site Name When a Network is selected, the Project dropdown will display only the projects associated with that Network Operator. Once a Project is selected, only the sites linked to that project will be available for selection. If a site includes defined Zone(s), these will also be selectable.

Please contact your Employer or the Principal Contractor if you are unsure of the site name or project details.
