FAQs

An Australian Right to Work (RTW) Check verifies an individual’s right to work status in Australia, either by confirming they are 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 via email to your candidate.
  2. Your candidate takes a photo of their identity documents and fills in their information.
  3. We’ll use the information to run the 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.
