CheckWorkRights review
A compliance-focused platform for automating Australian right-to-work checks and expiry workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CheckWorkRights is a cloud-based employment compliance platform for Australian and New Zealand employers. It supports right-to-work checks, document collection, digital status verification, automated VEVO checks through the Department of Home Affairs, and visa-condition tracking. HR, talent acquisition, compliance, and legal teams can use it to manage candidate and employee onboarding, expiry dates, supporting records, and related compliance workflows across web, iOS, and Android. The platform also covers background checks, licences, certifications, and qualifications.
Its strongest area is ongoing compliance management rather than a one-time verification step. Automated expiry reminders and renewal workflows help teams follow up on changing visa statuses, while the searchable audit trail provides exportable records. Reports, alerts, and segmented compliance views add visibility for teams managing large or high-volume workforces. Candidate and employee self-service onboarding can also move document collection and verification tasks beyond the core HR team. According to the published product details, the platform was founded in 2015 and is provided by CheckWorkRights Pty Ltd in Melbourne, Victoria.
For organisations that need to connect work-rights checks with existing HR and recruitment systems, CheckWorkRights offers a REST API, webhooks, and integrations with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, SmartRecruiters, Dayforce, PageUp, Paradox, UKG, LIFELENZ, and iCIMS. Pricing is handled through a commercial agreement, so it is better suited to employers seeking a managed compliance workflow than to buyers looking for a self-serve trial or free plan. Choose it when Australian or New Zealand work-rights compliance, auditability, and expiry management are central requirements; consider another option if you need broader geographic coverage or free access.
