What NMI Search does

NMI Search is an independent online service for people who need to identify a possible Australian electricity National Meter Identifier from a supply address. The service brings address suggestions and matching supply-point records into one place so users can review the complete address before using an NMI.

NMI Search is the public-facing name of this service at nmisearch.com. Questions about the service can be sent to contact@nmisearch.com.

Why the service exists

An NMI can be difficult to locate when an electricity bill is unavailable, a property contains several units, or one street address has multiple supply points. NMI Search provides a simpler address-first starting point while keeping those ambiguities visible.

How results are produced

When you select an address, NMI Search sends it to a supported third-party data provider and displays the matching supply-point records returned by that provider. We keep the formatted address beside each result so you can compare unit, lot, street, suburb, state and postcode details.

We do not declare one result to be correct when several possible supply points are returned. Users should compare the complete addresses and confirm important results with the relevant electricity retailer or network distributor.

Our responsibilities and limits

We are responsible for operating the website, presenting provider results clearly, maintaining reasonable security controls and responding to support, privacy and correction requests.

NMI Search is not an electricity retailer, network distributor, AEMO or Australian government service. It cannot create an NMI, open or transfer an electricity account, guarantee provider coverage, or provide official confirmation of a connection point.

Corrections and contact

If you find an unclear page, a technical problem or information that may need correction, email contact@nmisearch.com. Include the page URL and enough detail for us to investigate, but do not send passwords, payment-card details or unnecessary personal information.

Material product changes are published on the Updates page. Our Privacy Policy explains how address queries and other information are handled.
