Compliance Shouldn't Be an Afterthought
Rostering tools like Tanda and Deputy are great at scheduling shifts. But when the inspector walks in, can they prove every person on shift holds a valid RSA?
The Problem with Rostering-Tool Compliance
Shift scheduling and compliance management are fundamentally different problems. Here's where rostering tools fall short.
Rostering tools treat credentials as a checkbox, not a system. No gap analysis, no evidence tracking, no state-specific rules. When compliance is an afterthought, gaps slip through.
Employers are legally required to verify work rights. Rostering tools don't do VEVO checks. One unlawful worker can mean fines up to $96,000 per breach.
Hospitality runs on casuals. Paying per head for every casual who works one shift a month doesn't scale. VenueShield charges per venue so your entire team is covered.

Built for Australian Compliance
VenueShield isn't a generic tool with compliance bolted on. Every feature is designed around Australian venue regulations.
RSA, RCG, RSG, Food Safety Supervisor, First Aid, Working with Children, Security Licence, and more. Every credential comes with state-specific expiry rules already configured. No manual setup required — just add your staff and go.
Verify visa holders' work rights directly through the Australian Government's VEVO system. Automated re-check scheduling ensures you catch visa condition changes before they become compliance breaches. AI document extraction handles passport and visa detail entry.
When an inspector arrives, generate a full compliance report for any venue in seconds. See exactly which staff are on shift, their credential status, evidence documents, and any gaps — all in a printable, professional format that satisfies regulators.
“Managing credentials across 6 venues was a nightmare. Now I can see compliance gaps at a glance and prove to inspectors we're on top of everything.”
