VEVO checks, saved to the file
Run VEVO for Organisations checks from the matter, for one person or for hundreds. Each answer is saved to the file as a PDF record with a file note, and compared with the visa you already hold for that person.
14-day free trial. No credit card required. Cancel anytime.
From the matter, with consent recorded
The check dialog lists everyone on the matter who can be checked, the client and the people on the Applicants tab, and shows exactly what each check sends: the name as it appears on the passport, date of birth, passport number and passport country. You tick the people, then tick the consent sentence, which names them. A check cannot run without it, and each consent is kept.
The answer lands on the file
Each answer is saved on the matter as a record PDF in Documents, with a file note and an entry in the activity history. The matter shows each person's latest answer at a glance.
It tells you what changed
LodgeHQ compares each answer with that person's previous check and with the visa on file, and marks it First check, No change, Changed or Not found. Where something changed it lists what: the expiry date, the visa, the conditions or the work rights.
When the answer should become the record, update the visa on file with it: the current visa, the expiry date and the reminders that hang off that date. Do it for one person, for many at once, or let an administrator turn on automatic updating.
Bulk checks and employer lists
Check up to 500 people in one run, save the list to run it again later, and export the results to Excel. For people who are not on any matter, such as an employer's workforce, run the checks straight from a spreadsheet.

Good to know
The conditions and limits, so you find them here and not after you have signed up.
- You need your own organisation ImmiAccount with access to VEVO for Organisations, which the Department grants.
- Checks run in Chrome or Edge with the LodgeHQ eLodge extension installed.
- A check runs when you run it. Saved lists make a repeat run quick, but LodgeHQ does not re-check anyone on a schedule.
- VEVO checks are included in the plan for every firm. There is no add-on to buy.
VEVO checks: questions agents ask
Do I need my own VEVO access?
Yes. Checks run through your own organisation ImmiAccount, which needs access to VEVO for Organisations. That access is granted by the Department, not by LodgeHQ.
Is my ImmiAccount login stored?
Only if you choose to save it, so the check can sign in for you. The password is encrypted and is never shown again. The six-digit code is typed by you each time and is never stored.
Is the client's consent recorded?
Yes. A check will not run until you tick a consent statement that names the people being checked, and that consent is stored with the check.
Can I check an employer's whole workforce?
Yes. Run checks from a spreadsheet for people who are not on any matter, up to 500 in a run, and export the results to Excel.
Do VEVO checks cost extra?
No. VEVO checks are part of the plan for every firm.
