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 the documents most commonly required by Australian construction principal contractors including public liability insurance certificates of currency, workers compensation certificates of currency, 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, and Safe Work Method Statements for high-risk construction work.
Subcontractors in Australia are required to hold public liability insurance with minimum coverage of five million dollars in most states, workers compensation insurance for any employees, a valid white card issued under the national construction induction training framework, and relevant trade licences for their specific work. SubPass makes managing and sharing these documents simple, secure and automatic while ensuring subcontractors retain complete ownership of their credentials.
