Why it exists

Manual register checks do not scale

Australian businesses often need to confirm whether a contractor, tradesperson, or regulated professional is licensed before work starts.

The manual process means moving between state registers, reading inconsistent fields, and storing proof in spreadsheets or inboxes. WorkClear lets teams search supported registers in one place, upload lists, or use the API.

Product principles

Search, verify, automate

Search

Search official licence records by name or licence number.

Verify

Review status, holder, licence number, state, source, and available classes.

Automate

Use the API when the same checks need to run inside your own systems.

Official register coverage

Data stays tied to its source

WorkClear presents public register data with source context so customers can understand where a result came from, what category it belongs to, and when coverage is available.
