Ensure every worker in your business is legally authorised to work in their role.
What is Work Rights Verification?
Work Rights Verification is a critical legal obligation for all Australian employers. Under the Migration Act 1958, employers can face significant penalties for allowing workers to work in breach of their visa conditions. GO Access Law provides a systematic and ongoing verification service that checks each employee's visa status, work conditions, and entitlements — covering permanent employees, temporary visa holders, and subcontracted workers. Our process integrates with the Department of Home Affairs' VEVO system to give you real-time, legally defensible evidence of verification.
