This article will help provide clients with more information on the Australia Right To Work Check and whether it is best suited for their candidate. 

Validating a candidate's work rights in Australia depends on their citizenship and nationality. If the candidate has confirmed any of the following, they will need to undergo the Australia Right To Work Check.

• They have worked in Australia for at least 5 years 
• The candidate has stated that they were born in Australia and have lived there until they were at least 10 years of age
• If the client can confirm that the candidate has lived in Australia for ten years or more 
• If the candidate will seek employment in Australia or starting employment with the client that is in Australia 

After the client confirms any of the above, they can follow these steps to place the Australia Right To Work Check and know what their candidate needs to provide.

Please be advised that the average turnaround time for the Australia Right To Work Check is 3 to 5 working days. 

See our website for more information on this check:

What is required from the candidate for an Australia Right To Work Check:

• The candidate will need to hand sign our Verifile authority form. This will be sent to the candidate once the order has been placed. However, please see the following article on where to find an authority form and various ways the candidate can sign it: Authority Form Link.

• We will need further information from the candidate such as Full name, Maiden Names, Date of Birth and their most recent address in Australia. Please note that this information is usually provided by the candidate on their Verifile background screening form, so once submitted, we will confirm those details.
    
• The candidate must give a clear copy of their current passport that shows their photo and details page. If the passport is not Australian, they should also show a visa or any document that proves they can work in Australia.

If you do not have the documents at hand for the candidate, or are not entirely sure on what needs to be provided, then please tick the box that states “I will provide the forms and supporting documents at a later stage”. 

This will allow you to upload documents onto the candidate's file at a later stage.
