Hiring workers

Check your candidate’s visa status using VEVO service

You can check your workers’ visa status and work rights on the ‘visa entitlement verification online service’ website, or ‘VEVO service’ for short, at the Department of Home Affairs website

You’ll need to register to access the information.

Alternatively, you can ask your workers to send their visa details directly to you using the VEVO email function.
