CheckWorkRights

CheckWorkRights is an employer platform for work-entitlement screening, document verification and ongoing credential management. It is best suited to large Australian and New Zealand employers with high-volume hiring and established HR or compliance operations. Its strongest case is joining checks to role-based requirements and renewal tracking; its commercial-agreement model rules it out for individuals and buyers seeking a self-serve plan.

Overview

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Melbourne, CheckWorkRights automates checks including work entitlement, VEVO, references, RSA, bankruptcy and employee credentials. Australian VEVO checks determine entitlement to work in Australia; the platform serves employers in both Australia and New Zealand.

Candidates complete checks in the mobile-friendly MyCheck portal without logging in. That removes an account-creation step from the candidate workflow, while employers get digital verification status, document capture, reminders and an audit trail.

Key features

CheckIntelligence uses job role and location to identify required checks, licences and qualifications, then tracks renewals and expiries across the employee lifecycle. This makes the platform a stronger fit for organisations managing varied role requirements and continuing compliance than for buyers who only need a one-off check.

Out-of-the-box integrations include Dayforce, SmartRecruiters, Workday, PageUp and Paradox; other integrations include SAP SuccessFactors, UKG, LIFELENZ and iCIMS. Custom connections can use a REST API, webhooks or file-based transfers, and API access is available. That breadth can accommodate complex HR systems, though the value depends on an employer's existing setup.

CheckWorkRights says it is SOC 2 compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and conducts regular penetration testing. It says it does not store data outside Australia, with applications and API services hosted on AWS in Sydney. Account controls include MFA, domain restrictions, magic links and single sign-on through Microsoft Entra, Okta or a SAML 2.0 identity provider. Post-launch support comes directly from product developers and business owners.

Pricing

Commercial agreement: Custom pricing for employers; contact CheckWorkRights for pricing. There is no free plan or free trial, and individuals cannot purchase checks. The site offers a free, no-obligation demo discussion, which lets a prospective employer assess fit without committing to use the platform. Buyers should expect a sales-led purchase rather than a published per-seat or per-check plan.

Platforms

CheckWorkRights supports Android, iOS, web and API access. Its candidate portal is mobile-friendly, while API and integration options suit employers connecting checks to existing systems.

Who it's for

This is aimed at HR operations, talent acquisition, compliance and legal teams in large and enterprise employers, particularly those hiring at volume. Employers needing role-specific checks, renewals and audit trails have a clear reason to consider it. Smaller employers seeking transparent self-serve pricing, or individuals seeking personal checks, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Role- and location-based check selection with lifecycle renewal tracking can reduce the burden of managing changing credential requirements.
• Pros: A login-free candidate portal, document capture, digital status and audit trails cover key steps from candidate screening to recordkeeping.
• Pros: Broad HR integrations, API connectivity and Australian data hosting address needs common to large employers managing sensitive workforce checks.
• Cons: Custom pricing, no free plan and no trial make costs harder to assess before a sales conversation.
• Cons: Employer-only commercial agreements mean it is not an option for individuals or organisations wanting to buy checks one at a time.

Verdict

CheckWorkRights is a strong candidate for large Australian and New Zealand employers that need checks connected to hiring workflows and ongoing credential compliance. Its role-based automation, integrations and lifecycle tracking are the main reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need upfront pricing, a free trial, or an individual purchase option.
