Trusted Right to Work Checks

Our check fulfills the legal Right to Work obligation using a convenient online process that saves you and your candidate time.

Australian Citizens: If everything’s a match, the check is done. If it’s not, we contact the candidate to resubmit their details.
Non-Australian Citizens: We process the check with the Australian Department of Home Affairs’ Visa Entitlement Verification Online system (VEVO). If VEVO finds a match, the check is done. If it doesn’t, we’ll contact the candidate to indicate we couldn’t verify their working rights and work with them to correct their details.

FAQs

An Australian Right to Work Check verifies an individual’s right to work status in Australia, either by confirming they’re an Australian citizen, or by running a visa check through the Department of Home Affairs’ Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) service. The latter includes a search of the VEVO database for visa details pertaining to the candidate being screened and matching results to the candidate documentation provided. A RTW Check result will include the type of visa the individual holds, the visa grant and expiry date (if applicable), and any work conditions or restrictions that may apply.

Australia Right to Work only applies to people working in Australia.

  1. A secure link is sent to your candidate via email.
  2. Your candidate takes a photo of their identity documents and fills in their information using our easy online process.
  3. We’ll use the information to run the VEVO visa check or confirm Australian citizenship.
    Australian Citizens: If everything’s a match, the check is done. If it’s not, we contact the candidate to resubmit their details.
