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
What’s an Australian Right to Work Check?
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.
How long does it take?
The average turnaround for an Australian Right to Work Check is 1-7 days.
