Every SubPass subcontractor has a unique QR code linked to their compliance profile. Anyone can scan it. No account needed.

What you see when you scan:

  • The subcontractor's name and trade
  • Every document they carry, listed by name
  • Green means valid. Orange means expiring. Red means expired.

What you do not see without an account:

  • Policy numbers
  • Expiry dates
  • Insurer details
  • Document images

To see the full summary, create a free SubPass account and connect with the subcontractor. They approve your request. You see the details. Once.

One verified view. Everything you need. Nothing you shouldn't 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 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.

The subcontractor's 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.

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. You see everything in one place, updated in real time.

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.

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 in your SubPass profile.

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.

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."

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 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.
