Right to Work, Credential and Qualification Checks

This range of checks plays a crucial role in validating a candidate’s credentials, qualifications, and legal right to work, thereby becoming an indispensable part of safeguarding your organization’s reputation and the integrity of your recruitment process. These checks help mitigate the risks of fraudulent activity and ensure that you are hiring individuals who are not only qualified but also genuinely represent the information they provide. This proactive approach to candidate screening is vital for maintaining a trustworthy and secure work environment, reinforcing your commitment to operational excellence and the safety of all stakeholders.

Entitlement to Work (VEVO) Check

Is your candidate is entitled to work in Australia? Is their visa valid? As a registered organisation, we help employers check the work rights of visa holders who are either prospective and/or current employees.

The Entitlement to Work check involves checking the applicant information on the Visa Entitlement Verification Online system (VEVO) provided by the Australian Government.

VEVO will display:

  • Unlimited work rights
  • Limited work rights including a description of the work conditions
  • No work rights
