Companies that thrive with WorkPro's Work Rights Check

Adopt tech that automates your citizenship and work rights to maintain a job-ready workforce

All employers have a legal obligation to validate the rights to work of all staff.


For Australian citizens, this entails viewing and validating specific citizenship evidence. For non-Australian citizens, it is necessary to use the Visa Entitlement Verification Online service to confirm the conditions of an individual’s right to work.


WorkPro offers a comprehensive citizenship and work rights solution, including the instant validation of Australian citizens’ identity documents, leveraging our Document Verification Service, and an instant VEVO check using WorkPro’s secure integration.



The function is designed to provide a frictionless candidate experience during the recruitment process, and ongoing automated VEVO re-checks that ensures you maintain legal compliance, and not engage individuals without the correct rights to work.

Automated Work Rights Checks for dynamic compliance management

100% online candidate experience

Instant confirmation of Australian citizenship proof

Instant, automated validation of rights to work

Automated work rights re-checks and certification for robust auditing

Let WorkPro take charge of your Work Rights Checks

Automated, integrated and trusted work rights checks

Whether you engage 5 or 5,000 staff, WorkPro makes the verification of citizenship and right to work checks simple, leveraging WorkPro’s Document Verification Service and the Department of Home Affairs Visa Entitlement Online (VEVO) database for instant results.


Rely on WorkPro’s smart tech to instantly check the authenticity of an Australian identity document, or our seamless integration with VEVO to instantly validate and automatically re-check work rights for a seamless and dynamic compliance program that is readily auditable.



All checks include a formal certificate as a robust audit tool and our compliance dashboard provides complete visibility across your workforce to help you maintain compliance.

  • Instant, Flexible Checking

    Request work rights checks online from the WorkPro dashboard and receive fast, official results that help you hire with confidence.


    Submit checks individually or in bulk using WorkPro’s secure access to the Government database to validate a work visa status anywhere, anytime. Even from your mobile device.

  • Automated Re-Checking

    Checking and monitoring the work rights of staff is not a set and forget task as there are many and varied working conditions and restrictions for non-Australian citizens.


    WorkPro makes it easy for you to maintain compliance with a personal reporting dashboard and smart email notifications. We will continuously poll the VEVO database and provide you with updates if there have been any changes to your candidates right to work.


    The result? No more missed expiry dates – just 100% workforce compliance.

  • Auditable Evidence

    Every work rights check requested in WorkPro is returned with a full disclosure certificate and explanation of a candidate’s current working restrictions via our seamless integration with the Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) database.


    As well as receiving instant, official VEVO check results to make better hiring decisions, WorkPro customers can prove compliance anytime from a simple search from the dashboard. All information and results are permanently stored online, forming a complete audit trail that can be accessed anytime.

  • One Compliance Solution

    When it comes to screening and training staff, it’s easy to get lost with multiple logins and lose track of which system records are stored in.


    WorkPro makes workforce compliance simple with an all-in-one platform to manage work rights checks and other background checks, police checks, eLearning, and employment-related documents in one convenient place.


    That means one dashboard to centralise your compliance needs and data, one seamless experience for candidates and a smarter, more efficient way to meet legal obligations and duty of care. WorkPro helps you spend less time on the details, and more on finding the right people to grow your business.

  • Document Analysis

    WorkPro’s Document Analysis via Microsoft’s AI technology automates the verification and extraction of data from identity documents, reducing manual data input and human errors whilst speeding up the hiring process. Working alongside DVS creates further efficiency for a seamless process. 

  • Document Verification Service (DVS)

    WorkPro’s Document Verification Service (DVS) further enhances the reliability of our checks. After the Document Analysis, the DVS instantly cross-checks the identity documents with the Australian Federal Government’s database to confirm its authenticity, instantly. This provides you with reassurance and confidence in the verification process. 

  • ID Vault

    WorkPro keeps identity information safe in a central, encrypted personal identity vault that meets strict privacy and data protection standards. Automated alerts flag upcoming expiries, helping businesses stay compliant and candidates job-ready.

"The biggest benefits we have gained from adopting WorkPro are ease, efficiency, and partnership. We have been able to fully integrate WorkPro into our day-to-day and existing applications. This makes our processes so much more efficient, meaning we can spend more time doing what we do best.

You won’t understand how easy it can be until you make the switch. To be able to remove manual task and gain back precious time is wonderful.”

“After conducting a thorough search of the market, WorkPro was the only solution we could find that offered an integrated instant national police check service, a broad course library of work health and safety inductions, an instant work rights or visa check and the opportunity to tailor the solution to meet our unique business needs.”

“Previously we used an online assessment, video and paper based OHS induction – all of which were owned and operated in-house by Adecco. Not only was this an ineffective system, cost-wise, but we also experienced obstacles across the entire process. The WorkPro program takes a lot less time to complete, and the questions cover a much broader content field, so our candidates are learning more, in less time."

“Unlike previous methods, what we like about WorkPro is that it is recruitment specific, and the language used addresses the on-hire employer’s third party involvement. Importantly, adopting the system has assisted our resourcing for the high volume of temporary candidates we engage each week."
