Visa information held by the Australian Department of Immigration relating to a candidate's residence and working rights in Australia is accessed in this check.
Visa checks, also called VEVO checks, are a legal requirement in hiring non-Australian citizens to ensure an organisation only hires candidates with working rights in Australia. It's also important in determining a candidate's working restrictions so that they do not work beyond their visa's expiry or beyond their limitations.
It is illegal to employ someone without checking if they have the right to work in Australia. Failing to do so could result in the employer receiving an infringement notice.
Luckily, employers can conduct their VEVO checks online through VETTING.com. Our streamlined system will guide your candidates through the short process, gather the necessary documents, and verify them. Once the check is submitted, results are received immediately.

Identity documents such as the foreign Passport and Visa Grant Notice are required for this check. If the visa was originally granted on an older, expired Passport then that Passport's number will be needed. For New Zealand citizens who may not have a Visa Grant Notice, a picture of the arrival stamp will normally be needed instead.
The VEVO check is similar to the Right to Work
check in that both investigate a candidate's working rights and limitations in Australia.
Right to Work
check is chosen if the employer wants to check a candidate's right to work status regardless of
their citizenship / residency, whereas a Visa check can be used where the candidate is already
known not to be an Australia citizen.
These checks run the candidate's details through the VEVO database to check the type of visa they
have and any associated conditions or working restrictions.
