Do your workers require SoCI background checks?
Partner with Veritas to meet your SoCI compliance and ensure the security and protection of critical assets in the water and sewerage industry.
Understanding the SoCI legislation reforms
The changes to the SoCI Act require workers to have suitable background checks conducted, these include:
National Police Check (NPC)
AusCheck background check
Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) check
The challenges this imposes on industry is the need for individuals to apply online and attend an in-person identity verification to process a background check. For organisations there is an additional administration burden and risk when conducting the in-person identity verification and handling personal sensitive data as well as a loss of productivity sending workers offsite to lodge their identity documents.
Veritas can support both the company and employee with the 5 key steps involved in applying for a SoCI background check.
1. Employee
Submit an application
2. Organisation
Confirm requirement
3. Third party
Verify identity
4. AusCheck
Process background check and provide outcome
5. Organisation
Assess suitability
By partnering with Veritas, we can help reduce the compliance management burden and enhance the security of personal data with our online management system and Identity Verification App. Veritas can integrate with current management systems and provide secure transfer and storage of personal sensitive data and on demand tracking of application status.
