Your Synergy account number is the unique identifier of the account and can be found at the top of your Synergy bill.
My Account is a secure online account management portal for customers that allows you to manage your Synergy account, including updating contact details, viewing current and past bills, your account balance/s and managing any payment arrangements or direct debit arrangements.
If you already have a Synergy account, you can register for My Account here.

- How does Synergy’s multi-factor authentication for My Account work?
-
To log in to My Account, you will need to authenticate your account access using the mobile number or email address linked to your Synergy account. You will also need to enter your supply address exactly as it appears on your Synergy bill.
The validation will send a one-time use code to the mobile number or email address that is linked to the Synergy account, which you will need to enter correctly before you can log on. You will only have 3 attempts of the mobile number and supply address authentication , so please ensure you have entered these details correctly.
The SMS or email code should be sent instantly, so ensure that you check your junk emails or spam SMS folders if it hasn’t come through within one minute of requesting it. The SMS or email code expires after five minutes and you will need to request a new code after that time.
If this happens, you can click on the “I didn’t get a code” link, which can be requested up to 3 times per day. The number of remaining code generation attempts will show on the error message.
If you fail to authenticate your account after three attempts, My Account will be locked and you will need to contact us on 13 13 53 between Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm (residential customers), or on 13 13 54 between Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm (business customers) to check your details and to reset My Account. - Can I change the Synergy account holder’s name?
-
The Synergy account holder’s name may be changed to reflect a registered name change. If you are the account holder and you wish to update the account to reflect the change to your name, you will need to contact us on 13 13 53 to verify your identity and provide evidence of name change. The name change on the account will be effective from the date we process your request and previous bills will not be updated to reflect the change.
