Ensuring that candidates possess work rights in Australia is a mandated legal obligation. At WorkPro, we understand the critical importance of this process and have developed an Australian Citizenship and Work Rights Checks solution that delivers unmatched accuracy, speed, and reliability.
In late 2023, WorkPro was appointed as a Document Verification Service (DVS) of the Attorney-General's Department, which allows us to directly access and validate a range of documents, including Australian citizenship evidence.
Since January 2024, we have committed to prioritising the rollout of this important function, which means that today WorkPro is the only Australian company to offer a complete citizenship and work rights function to support efficient pre-employment screening and ongoing compliance management to fulfil this mandated employment responsibility. This premium function includes instant Australian citizenship and VEVO checks, automated VEVO re-checks, and an integrated service into a range of partner solutions.
1. Advanced OCR Technology
By the end of September 2024, WorkPro will introduce our Optical Character Recognition (OCR) solution to streamline the data input process. Using OCR reduces manual data input by the candidate, reduces data errors and enables the instant verification of Australian citizenship or VEVO, facilitating efficiency in hiring, particularly if the outcome of the check can automatically trigger another pre-hire activity check.
2. Document Verification Service (DVS)
As mentioned earlier, WorkPro’s Document Verification Service (DVS) further enhances the reliability of our checks. DVS is an Australian government service that verifies key identity documents against the records of the issuing agency. By using DVS, WorkPro can confirm the authenticity of documents in real-time aligned with the Australian Government, providing reassurance and confidence in the verification process.
We are continuing to expand our DVS service across the WorkPro solution over the coming months to enhance trust, compliance, and security for our customers, including all background checks and certain credentials, such as a driver licence.
3. Biometric Facial Recognition
Additionally, WorkPro will deploy its Biometric Facial Recognition solution later in the year to deliver an instant identity check as part of our background screening service, providing assurance that the person is who they proport to be.
We are extremely confident that this all-encompassing solution will enable your organisation to remain compliant with no manual intervention from your team.
4. Centralised and Automated Process
WorkPro's platform centralises all important employment screening, onboarding and ongoing compliance functions, allowing businesses to automatically manage work rights checks alongside other
background checks,
credential management, and
eLearning programs. Our automated system sends reminders and updates to both employers and employees, ensuring that all parties are informed and compliant without the need for constant manual oversight.
5. User-Friendly Dashboard and Reporting
Our smart online dashboard offers a clear and intuitive interface for tracking the status of work rights checks. Customers can filter results, monitor expirations, and request re-checks effortlessly. The platform also provides on-demand compliance reporting and insights, giving businesses instant access to critical audit information.
6. Bulk Processing Capabilities
WorkPro understands that managing compliance for large workforces can be challenging, so the ability to send requests in bulk and validation information in bulk, coupled with our automated work rights, provides for significant process efficiency and time to value.
7. Comprehensive Support
We pride ourselves on offering dedicated, personal support via phone and email, augmented by a live knowledge base for instant support for frequently asked questions. Our team is always ready to assist with any queries, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.
8. Secure Storage
Candidate personal data is secured by robust data protection measures, security accreditation and regular security penetration testing programs.
