WHY CONTINUOUS VERIFICATION MATTERS

Recruitment Screening Isn't Enough. Here's What Happens After Day 1.

Credentials Lapse.

Working with Children Checks expire. Teacher registrations lapse. First aid certifications run out. Unless you're tracking 23+ different expiry dates for every employee, credentials expire unnoticed—leaving you non-compliant and exposed.

Status Changes.

NDIS worker screening can be suspended. WWCC can be revoked. Aged care clearances can be cancelled. Government registers update daily—but your records don't. Oho monitors continuously and alerts you the moment something changes.

Auditors Ask for Proof. Can You Provide It?

"Show me your workforce is compliant." Can you prove every credential for every employee is current? With Oho, your audit trail is permanent, timestamped, and always ready. No scrambling. No gaps. No stress.
