The Complete Digital Asset Checklist for Australian Families (Free Download)
Organise Your Online Accounts Before Your Family Needs Them
Most people have far more online accounts than they realise.
Email, banking, subscriptions, social media, cloud storage, loyalty programs — these accounts build up over time and are often completely forgotten.
In fact, many Australians have 70–100 digital accounts, yet only keep track of a handful.
This becomes a serious problem when families need to:
access important information
manage finances
locate online accounts
organise digital assets after death
Without a clear system, families are often left guessing.
This page provides one of the most comprehensive digital asset checklists for Australian families, helping you identify, organise and manage your online accounts in one place.

What Are Digital Assets?
Digital assets are any online accounts, files, or services you access using a login or password.
Over time, these accounts build up across many different platforms and devices.
Examples include:

MyGov and government services
Social media accounts
Subscription services (Netflix, Spotify, etc.)
Cloud storage (Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox)
Online shopping accounts
Digital photos and documents
Investment platforms
Online memberships
People planning their digital legacy
Without a clear record of these accounts, it can be difficult for families to locate important information when it’s needed.
Why Families Struggle With Digital Accounts
Many people assume their family will easily find their online accounts if something happens.
In reality, accounts are often scattered across:
different email addresses
multiple devices
old passwords
forgotten subscriptions
cloud services no one else knows about
This can leave families searching through phones, computers and emails trying to piece everything together.
Creating a simple checklist helps make sure the important information is recorded clearly and safely.
