Providing 100 Points of Identification

If asked by the Like Family team, Social Carers must be able to verify their identity and right to work by producing 100 points of identification.

In order to provide support on the Like Family platform, you must be able to provide 100 points of ID and verify your right to work upon request.

Right to Work

Australian and New Zealand citizens, as well as permanent residents, do not have restrictions on their right to work in Australia. However, working rights may be restricted due to other factors (such as criminal history).

Documents that are proof of the Right to Work:

Full Australian Birth Certificate (if born before 20 August 1986) and a form of photo ID
Full Australian Birth Certificate (if born on or after 20 August 1986), a form of a photo ID and evidence that at least one parent was an Australian citizen or permanent resident at the time of the child's birth
Australian Citizenship Certificate
Australian Passport
New Zealand Passport
New Zealand Birth Certificate and a form of photo ID
Certificate of evidence of resident status
Valid visa with work rights.

If you do not fall into the above three categories, then your right to work is determined by the status and conditions of your Visa.
