Our integrated visa and work rights service gives you peace of mind by monitoring your employees’ visa status and making sure you are compliant. Australian employers have a responsibility to employ, refer and contract legal workers. Our reports show whether an overseas worker (a person who is not an Australian citizen or permanent resident) has full or restricted work rights.
- We streamline the hiring and compliance process with a simple passport bio data page copy
- We automate the monitoring process
- We update you with the latest employee work rights status
- We help protect your business from civil penalties for allowing someone to work in breach of their visa, up to $79,200 per breach for individuals and higher for companies
- We help reduce the risk of criminal charges and of being banned from employing more temporary visa holders under the 2024 employer compliance laws
- Protect your reputation
Immigration compliance solutions for Australian employers
Book a video consultation with our Registered Migration Agents in Melbourne to find out more about your obligations.
A VEVO (Visa Entitlement Verification Online) check tells you if your visa holding employee is allowed to work in Australia, and whether there are conditions on their employment (for example a maximum number of hours per fortnight, or work only in designated regional areas of Australia).
The VEVO result is instantly obtained from the Department of Home Affairs and conditions related to an employee’s work entitlements are clearly displayed.
Your obligations as an employer
Since 1 July 2024, the Migration Act includes stronger employer compliance laws. To stay on the right side of them:
- check a worker’s visa and work rights before they start, not after
- check again whenever their visa is due to expire, changes or is replaced by a bridging visa
- make sure the hours, location and type of work match any visa conditions
- keep a record of each VEVO check, as it helps show you took reasonable steps
Our monitoring service takes care of these checks for you and alerts you when something changes.
