How Do I know if my Employees have Citizenship or Permanent Residence in Australia?
These are the types of identification that are acceptable to prove citizenship or permanent residence in Australia:
- Australian passport
- New Zealand passport
- Australian citizenship certificate plus photo ID
- Australian birth certificate plus photo ID
- Certificate of resident status plus photo ID
- Certificate of Status for New Zealand Citizens in Australia (CSNZCA) plus photo ID
We recommend these be sighted and a copy saved in the employee file.
[h2]What is not acceptable as evidence?[/h2]
Visa grant letters and visa labels are not specified by Migration Regulations, so we would not recommend for you to consider visa grant letters as proper evidence of residential status
[h2]What is the minimum I can do to check visa status of my employees? [/h2]
- Collect passport ID page prior to employment
- Check VEVO before employment
- Check VEVO around visa expiry
- For bridging visas, check more regularly
- Keep Records.
[h2]How Can I make this process simpler?[/h2]
