ABOUT ACCREDA

Who we are

Accreda is a Verification of Competency (VOC) service built on more than 10 years of industry experience. We started Accreda to fix what the market was getting wrong: slow, inconsistent, and impersonal assessments that left operators waiting and employers exposed.

We exist to offer service excellence. From the moment a booking is made through to a verified certificate, every step is designed to be smooth, transparent, and professional — whether you're an individual worker getting verified or a business managing an entire workforce.

What separates us from everyone else on the market is our time to service. We move candidates from booking to certified faster, without compromising on the rigour or quality of the assessment.

Professionalism

Every assessment is conducted by qualified assessors to industry standards — accurate, consistent, and fully documented from booking to certificate.

Fast turnaround

We book, assess, and issue certificates faster than anyone else on the market, so your people stay compliant and on site.

Service excellence

A smooth, transparent experience for candidates and employers alike, with clear outcomes and real human support.

10+ years of experience

Backed by over a decade in the industry, we understand the real-world demands of plant and equipment operators, supervisors, and employers.

Get Workers Ready

Reduce delays between finding a worker and getting them ready for deployment.

Reduce Admin

Stop your recruiters and operations team spending time chasing assessments, workers, assessors and competency documentation.

Document Competency

Create a clear record of competency assessments and supporting documentation for your workforce.

BUILT FOR LABOUR HIRE

Your team finds the workers. Accreda helps verify the competency.

Labour-hire companies need to move quickly. When a client needs workers, delays in competency verification can create additional administration and slow mobilisation. Accreda provides a dedicated competency verification service that can fit into your existing recruitment and mobilisation process. Instead of your team having to coordinate every assessment themselves, you can send the required worker information to Accreda and we manage the verification process.

HOW ACCREDA FITS INTO YOUR BUSINESS

We fit into your existing workflow

You don't need to replace your recruitment, payroll or workforce management systems. Accreda can operate as the competency-verification component of your existing mobilisation process.

MORE THAN A VOC CERTIFICATE

More than a VOC certificate

A VOC is more than a document. For businesses, documented competency verification can form part of a broader workforce safety, risk-management and mobilisation process.

Evidence that competency has been assessed

Consistent competency verification across workers

Better visibility of workforce competency

Easier mobilisation of labour-hire workers

Reduced administrative workload

Improved record keeping

Faster response to client requests

Identification of competency or training gaps

Supporting evidence for audits and investigations where relevant

Better management of workers operating plant and equipment

A more structured approach to workforce competency

Documented competency verification can support workforce safety, risk-management and operational processes where required, subject to applicable legislation, site and client requirements. A VOC does not automatically make a business WorkSafe compliant, does not automatically reduce insurance premiums, and is not a legal requirement after every workplace accident.

CLIENT REQUIREMENTS

When your client needs proof, have it ready.

Labour-hire companies are often required to demonstrate that workers have the appropriate licences, training, experience and competency for the work they are being supplied to perform. Accreda helps businesses create documented competency evidence that can be incorporated into their existing mobilisation and compliance processes.

Client-specific requirements

Meet the documentation standards your clients expect.

Site-specific requirements

Address site-specific competency verification needs.

Equipment-specific competency

Verify competency for the equipment workers will operate.

Workforce documentation

Maintain workforce competency records in one place.

Requirements vary by industry, site, client, contract and task.

INDUSTRIES

Built for high-risk and skilled workforces

Mining & Resources

Competency verification for workers operating plant, equipment and vehicles.

Civil & Construction

Support competency verification for operators and skilled workers.

Labour Hire

A streamlined competency-verification service for workforce mobilisation.

Logistics & Warehousing

Support competency verification for forklift and other workplace equipment operators.

Industrial

Competency verification for workers operating equipment and performing higher-risk tasks.

Employers & Contractors

Maintain documented evidence of workforce competency where appropriate.

Your team should be finding workers — not chasing VOCs.

Recruitment and operations teams should be focused on filling jobs, looking after clients and mobilising workers. Accreda takes the competency-verification component and makes it easier to manage.

HOW IT WORKS

How it works

STEP 1

Send us the details

Provide the worker and competency information required for the assessment.

STEP 2

Assess

The worker completes the relevant assessment process.

STEP 3

Verify

The assessment outcome is reviewed and competency is verified where the assessment requirements are met.

STEP 4

Document

The completed VOC and relevant assessment documentation are provided.

STEP 5

Deploy

The worker can proceed to the next stage of mobilisation, subject to all required licences, inductions, site requirements and employer/client requirements.

Completing a VOC does not automatically mean a worker is legally authorised to perform licensed work. VOCs do not replace mandatory licences, HRW licences, site inductions or other legal requirements.

EQUIPMENT & VOC

Accreda provides a growing range of Verification of Competency assessments covering equipment, plant, vehicles and workplace tasks.

Competency you can document.

When competency matters, having a documented assessment process matters too. Accreda helps businesses create evidence of competency assessment that can support their workforce safety, risk-management, client and operational processes.

VOC requirements vary by task, equipment, jurisdiction, workplace, client and contract. A VOC does not replace any mandatory licence, qualification, induction or legal requirement.
