To help you get started, we’ve prepared these quick guides so you can master your account. Keep reading and you’ll know how to log in, update your payment details, request an invoice extension, update your contact details, change your broadband plan and more!

It all starts with logging in

You can log in to MyAccount at https://myaccount3.westnet.com.au/ – you may want to add this link to the bookmarks in your web browser so you can visit in just a click or two.

• If you’re a broadband customer, log in with the username and password for your broadband service. It must be the broadband service – if you log in with the username and password for an extra mailbox, you won’t see many important features. We designed it that way so you can safely create mailboxes for other family members or housemates without giving them the ability to make changes on your overall account.
• If you’re a mobile-only customer, log in with the username and password for your Westnet email address.

Recovering a forgotten password

You can find your broadband username on your monthly Westnet invoice. If can’t remember your password, just click here. Once you’ve regained access to your account, you can change your password to something you’ll remember or record it for safekeeping.

If you get truly stuck, just give us a call on 1300 786 068. A member of our friendly Customer Support team can talk you through how to regain access to your account, then you can record your username and password for safekeeping so you won’t get stuck again.

• Log in
• Select Bills & Payments
• Select Update payment details

Change your broadband plan

• Log in
• Select My Products
• Select the type of product you’d like to change – Broadband, Phone or Mobile
• If you have more than one service, make sure the correct username is selected from the Product drop-down menu
• Select Change plan
• Select your plan from the list of available options
• Hit Switch to this plan
• Check out the summary of the changes and hit Confirm if you’re happy to go ahead.
