Every SubPass subcontractor has a unique QR code linked to their compliance profile. Anyone can scan it. No account needed. Site managers who create a free account can connect with the contractor and see full document summaries including policy numbers and expiry dates.

What you see when you scan:

  • The subcontractor's name and trade category
  • Every document they carry listed by name
  • Green means valid. Orange means expiring. Red means expired.
  • SubPass Verified badge if they have earned it

What you do not see without an account:

  • Policy numbers and expiry dates
  • Insurer or issuing authority details
  • Document images or certificates
  • Coverage amounts

To see full document details create a free SubPass account and connect with the subcontractor. They approve your request. You see the details once to verify. SubPass tracks everything from there automatically.

Create your free account

One verified view. Everything you need. Nothing you should not have.

Step 1

Connect with your subcontractor

Scan their SubPass QR code on site or send them an invite by email. They receive a notification, approve your request and you are instantly connected to their live compliance profile.

Step 2

View their certificate once to verify

At the moment of connection you view the actual certificate personally to confirm it is genuine. This is a deliberate one-time view. After verification the document is no longer accessible to you.

Step 3

Their summary lives on your dashboard

After verification SubPass stores the document summary on your dashboard showing policy number, insurer name, coverage amount and expiry date. The document stays with the subcontractor permanently.

Subcontractor documents are never downloaded, never stored on your device and never held by SubPass on your behalf. You verify once. SubPass tracks the rest. Automatic alerts tell you when anything is about to expire.

More than compliance tracking. The complete site management platform.

SubPass has grown into a full site operations platform. Here is what site managers get beyond the compliance dashboard.

Site Gate Sign In and Out

Every site gets a unique QR code. Contractors scan it to sign in on arrival and out on departure. You see who is on site right now with their compliance status confirmed at the gate. Visitors without SubPass can register at the gate too.

Available on Professional and above

Emergency Muster

In an emergency open SubPass and see every person currently on site. Tick them off as they reach the muster point. Anyone not accounted for is flagged immediately. Share a muster report with emergency services in one tap.

Available on Business and above

Site Condition Reports

Photograph and annotate site conditions with professional tools. Arrows, circles, highlights, GPS stamping and before and after comparison. Generate branded PDF reports in one tap. Protect yourself from disputes before work starts.

Available as add-on or included in Business and above

Team Management

Invite project managers, supervisors and safety officers with role-based access. Assign them to specific sites only. Five role types give you complete control over who can see what across your account.

Compliance on Australian construction sites costs time, money and sleep.

You are legally responsible for every subcontractor on your site.

Under Australian WHS legislation, principal contractors must verify that every subcontractor holds current licences, insurance and inductions before work begins. One expired certificate, one uninsured incident, and the liability falls on you. Most site managers are managing this through WhatsApp messages and spreadsheets.

You send the same documents to every site manager. Over and over again.

Every new site wants your public liability certificate, your workers compensation, your white card, your trade licence. You spend hours every month finding, sending and resending the same documents. And you have no idea who still has copies of them or where they are stored.

Expired documents on site are not a paperwork problem. They are a liability.

A subcontractor whose public liability insurance lapsed three weeks ago. A white card that expired and nobody checked. These are uninsured incidents waiting to happen with legal and financial consequences that can end a business.

SubPass solves compliance from both sides of the site gate.

For Site Managers

SubPass gives you a live compliance dashboard showing every subcontractor you work with. Green means compliant. Orange means expiring within 30 days. Red means expired or missing.

Your documents stay yours. Always.

One verified view at connection

When a site manager connects with you they view your actual certificate once to personally verify it. After that single view the document is no longer accessible to them. What remains on their dashboard is a summary only. The original certificate stays in your SubPass profile.

Summaries not documents

Site managers see policy numbers, insurer names, coverage amounts and expiry dates on their dashboard. They never see the document itself again after the initial verification. Your certificate stays yours. Always.

You control every connection

Every site manager who wants to see your document summary must request your approval first. You approve or decline. You revoke access any time. Instantly. No process, no delay, no explanation required.

Hear it from the people on site.

"I scan the QR code when a new subby turns up on site. I can see immediately if they're compliant before they start work. It takes five seconds and it used to take five phone calls."

Site Manager, Sydney NSW

"I work for six different site managers. I send them my QR code and they see everything they need. I have not filled in a compliance form for a new site manager since I joined SubPass."

Electrical Contractor, Brisbane QLD

"The best part is nobody is keeping copies of my documents. They verify once when we connect and after that they just see the summary. My documents stay mine."

Licensed Plumber, Melbourne VIC

"We had an incident on site and could not find the paper muster roll. Now I open SubPass and I can see exactly who is on site in seconds. The emergency muster feature alone is worth every dollar."

Site Manager, Perth WA

"I used to spend hours every month resending the same documents to every new builder. Now I share my SubPass link and they see everything they need. I have not emailed a certificate in months."

Built for Australian WHS compliance requirements.

Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and equivalent state legislation, principal contractors in Australia are required to verify that every subcontractor working on their site holds current and valid licences, insurance and inductions before work begins. SubPass is built specifically to help Australian site managers meet these obligations efficiently without storing sensitive subcontractor documents.

SubPass tracks public liability insurance certificates of currency, workers compensation certificates, construction induction white cards, state trade licences issued by NSW Fair Trading, the Victorian Building Authority, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission and equivalent bodies in other states. AI document parsing reads uploaded certificates automatically and extracts key details for verification.

Beyond document tracking SubPass provides digital site inductions with WorkCover standard templates, toolbox meeting management with attendance records, site gate QR sign in and out with live attendance dashboards and emergency muster capabilities. Every feature is built around Australian WHS compliance requirements.
