As part of Oncore’s onboarding process, we collect all relevant right to work information for your workers.
If they are an Australian citizen then we capture a copy of their:
- Australian Passport
OR
- Birth Certificate/Citizenship Certificate
AND
- A Driver's License, or other government-issued photographic identification.
If they are not an Australian citizen we capture:
- Passport
We then perform a Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) check. This will in turn provide full visa information, including grant date, expiry, type and any applicable working conditions.
VEVO provides details relating to an individual’s current in-effect visa:
- which visa
- the expiry date
- the must not arrive after date
- the period of stay (how long you can stay)
- conditions (what you can and can't do).
VEVO is not able to provide any details relating to visas that are not ‘in-effect’. For example, if an individual holds a Bridging visa but their substantive visa has not yet expired.
Oncore will ensure that we record any restrictions or notable dates in our systems. It is also up to the individual worker to be aware of their restrictions and abide by the conditions of their visa.
In the event of tenure restrictions, we will let your agency know and set up the worker’s contract to conclude in line with the visa or tenure expiry date.
We will monitor visa expiry dates, changes and also ensure we are regularly reviewing bridging visas every three months.
