The Verification Officer is a worksite representative that is nominated to perform verification duties associated with confirming the COVID-19 immunisation, testing or exemption status nominated on a relevant state COVID-19 Vaccination or Exemption Declaration Form. 

The Verification Officer is required to co-sign the form after sighting the relevant evidence.

Important: Verification Officers must not store or retain the immunisation status provided by the RIW cardholder.

Once all parties have completed and signed the COVID-19 Declaration Form, the form should be uploaded as evidence against the COVID-19 employer-based competency in accordance with worksite procedures.  

If you have any questions regarding the verification of COVID-19 evidence, please reach out to your worksite COVID-19 Marshal for further advice.
