Department of Home Affairs — VEVO

The Department of Home Affairs runs VEVO (Visa Entitlement Verification Online), the system used to confirm a person's right to work in Australia. This source confirms a worker's right to work through VEVO.

What Oho needs​

You need the worker's family name, date of birth, passport number, and country of issue. Oho confirms the current visa status, the work and study entitlements, the visa subclass, and any conditions or limitations.

The family name is submitted exactly as you hold it

VEVO matches on the family name, so a surname that isn't the person's real one fails the check every time it runs. The usual cause is a placeholder — -, ., N/A — typed into the surname for someone who goes by a single name. Put the single name in Legal Last Name and leave Legal First Name blank instead: see People with one name.

Setup and credentials​

None from you. Oho manages the secure connection to VEVO.

Linking​

Not applicable. There is no employer linkage recorded against the visa.
