New Developments and Enhancements: Mid-Year Product Update

WorkPro is dedicated to readily helping you manage your workforce compliance and candidate job-readiness. Over the past few weeks, we've been diligently working on several new developments, upgrades, and a refreshed candidate user experience (UX). As we move into the second half of the year, we're proud to share some of the significant enhancements we've delivered as part of our 2024 roadmap, and we’re on track to introduce significant enhancements post-July. Here’s a snapshot below.

Mid-Year Product Update


  • Federal Government Appointment: Gateway Services Provider: In a significant development, WorkPro has been appointed by the Federal Government as a Gateway Services Provider for the Document Verification Service (DVS). This appointment strengthens data integrity and will reduce turnaround time for certain background checks. Our product team is gearing up to roll out Stage I in early June - AU Citizenship Checks, with other developments and releases to be completed across June and July.



  • Explore the WorkPro Resource Hub: Our new Resource Hub is your one-stop destination for all the latest updates, including product enhancements, Work Health and Safety insights, industry-related eBooks, legislative changes, customer success stories, and details on upcoming events and webinars. Stay informed and prepared with the latest developments in workforce compliance and WorkPro’s leading efforts.


  • New Case Study: Continuously Updated eLearning Modules: Maintaining up-to-date learning materials that align with legislative and industry changes is crucial for workforce education. At WorkPro, we proactively anticipate these changes and integrate updates into our extensive library of over 60 eLearning modules. Discover how Oncore leveraged WorkPro’s tailored eLearning solutions to ensure their team remains job-ready, with over 30,000 modules completed to date.


  • New PageUp Integration: WorkPro and PageUp have partnered to streamline HR and recruitment tasks by integrating WorkPro's background check features with PageUp's HR systems, creating a unified solution for faster, more efficient operations. This integration automates over 100 background checks, reduces manual tracking, and enhances compliance through partnerships with government bodies and additional integrations with Jobfit and Referoo.


  • SmartRecruiters Integration Now Live: We are thrilled to announce the recent launch of WorkSmart, our new integration with SmartRecruiters. This integration combines WorkPro's compliance capabilities with best-in-class partners like Referoo’s reference checks and Jobfit’s medical screenings, offering a unified solution for compliance and job-readiness without the need for disparate systems.


  • New Police Check Top-Ups: We launched a new pre-paid model for WorkPro Police Checks in May designed for customers who wish to pre-purchase a small number of checks and have them available as needed. The service has been well received, with over 100 customers opting for this flexible solution.



  • Citizenship and Work Rights Check: We’ll be releasing our extended work rights checks over the coming week, allowing customers to instantly validate an Australian identity document. Coupled with the ability to complete an instant VEVO check for non-AU citizens, this function makes WorkPro the first technology company to offer such a comprehensive work rights verification service.


At WorkPro, we take charge so you can take flight. Our continuous efforts to enhance our platform and services are designed to empower your business to thrive. Stay tuned for more updates, or contact us now if you’re interested in how WorkPro can help your business.

Background Checks in the Childcare sector : A Wake-Up Call for the Sector The early childhood sector is under national scrutiny again. This time, it's not just policy driving change, but public outcry. On 20 August 2025, Victoria released findings from its rapid review into early childhood safety, following disturbing revelations of serious abuse at multiple childcare services (The Guardian). The review found systemic failures in background screening and regulatory enforcement, prompting the state to announce a major overhaul of its child safety laws. Among the key issues: a childcare worker with a history of criminal behaviour was cleared to work, and multiple abuse allegations were mishandled due to poor internal reporting systems (ABC News). The Victorian Government has accepted all 21 review recommendations, including increased unannounced inspections, faster suspension powers, and mandatory public disclosure of breaches (Wyndham TV). While this latest case occurred in Victoria, the same risks exist elsewhere. That’s why the national reforms introduced earlier this year — from harmonised Working with Children Checks to compulsory child protection training — are more than just updates. They’re essential safeguards. With greater legal consequences for non-compliance, now is the time for childcare providers to ensure their employee screening, training, and reporting systems are watertight — because families, regulators, and the law are watching.
