How to upload your Right to Work certificate by completing a Certsy or VEVO check

Updated over a week ago

The Right to Work documentation is used to verify your working rights in Australia or New Zealand and is required complete work with Sidekicker. You will not be able to view any shifts on Sidekicker without this documentation.

In most cases, Sidekicks working in Australia can complete their Right to Work Check through Certsy.
For Sidekicks on a bridging visa, you can complete a VEVO check instead.

Certsy Check

Certsy is a secure website used to verify various credentials. You can complete the check with one of the following documents:

  • Australian or New Zealand Passport

  • Australian Birth Certificate

  • Australian Citizenship Certificate

  • Australian Visa Grant Notice (excluding Bridging Visas)

  • ImmiCard

How do I complete my Right to Work check through Certsy?

  • Click here to log in and edit your Sidekicker profile

  • Navigate to Certificates

  • Click on the certificate titled 'Right to Work Check (via Certsy).'

This will take you to the Certsy website, where you can enter your email and follow the prompts to upload your verification document. ?
​NOTE: Be sure to use the same email as is linked to your Sidekicker account

Once completed, you will be asked to share your results with Sidekicker.
​NOTE: Please accept this so that your Right to Work check is linked to your Sidekicker profile

You will then be taken back to your Sidekicker Profile page, where the certificate will show as 'pending'. This will usually update within 24 hours and will show as 'approved' on your profile once verified!

Note: For your security, Certsy will not share your documents with Sidekicker. Only the verification result will be shared.

What if I'm on a Bridging Visa?

If you are on a Bridging Visa, you will not be able to complete a Certsy check due to the changing nature of the granted visa. For us to verify your working rights, you will need to complete a VEVO check via the immigration website.

Once you complete your VEVO check, be sure to save the PDF format, and email it to us at [email protected] - our team will then upload this to your profile for you.

NOTE: The VEVO check for bridging visas is only valid for three months, and you will be required to re-complete this to continue seeing shifts beyond the expiry date.

Cersty says 'I've made too many submissions'

If you experience any delays or have trouble verifying your working rights, please contact the Certsy support team here.

My document has been approved on Certsy, but doesn't show on my Sidekicker page

To ensure that your accounts are linked, you will need to 'share' your results with Sidekicker. This will pop up when you have completed your upload, but if this has been missed, you can also change your sharing setting at any time:


I don't have the documentation that Certsy requires

If you are an Australia Citizen or Permanent Resident and don't have any of the documents that Certsy accepts, you can send your proof of enrollment to vote through the AEC.
​
Simply enter your details, and send an image of the outcome through to the blue chat bubble, and we can upload that for you.


Important: As an employee of Sidekicker, you are responsible for notifying us if there are any changes to your visa conditions and ensuring you do not apply or complete shifts that fall outside your work restrictions.
