Every subbie’s certificate of currency, current on the day they start.
Each subcontractor uploads their public liability and workers’ compensation certificates of currency through their own link, with the date each policy runs out. WorkZerk shows you what is expiring next and emails the subbie for the renewal before the cover lapses.
30-day free trial. No credit card.
Sound familiar?
"My broker will send it through"
It arrives three weeks later in one person’s inbox, and nobody writes down the date the policy runs out.
The spreadsheet says current. The policy ended last month.
Expiry dates get typed in once and checked when someone remembers. A lapsed policy is found after the incident, not before.
A head contractor asks for proof
Showing which certificate you held for each subbie on a given date means digging through email and shared folders.
How certificate of currency tracking works
- Step 1
Ask for the certificates once
The Australian contractor pack already asks for a public liability certificate of currency, and a workers’ compensation one for subbies who employ workers. Each upload asks for its expiry date.
- Step 2
Send each subbie their link
Import your subcontractors from a spreadsheet, or share a self-registration link. They upload the PDF or a phone photo of the certificate, with no account and no password.
- Step 3
Approve it, then let the reminders run
Check the certificate and approve it. Turn on the expiring and expired reminders, and the subbie is emailed for the renewal before and after the date it runs out.
What you can track for each subcontractor
- Public liability certificate of currency
- Workers’ compensation certificate of currency
- Professional indemnity
- Goods in transit insurance for owner-drivers
- Contract works insurance
- Any other policy with an expiry date
Current, expiring soon or expired
Every certificate carries the date it runs out, and WorkZerk marks it current, expiring soon or expired, across every subbie and every job.
Renewals chased for you
The expiring reminder emails the subcontractor 30 days before the date, with their own link to upload the new certificate. The expired reminder follows up if nothing replaced it.
AI reads the expiry date
AI reads the expiry date on each uploaded certificate and flags it when it differs from the date the subbie typed in. You still approve every document.
One certificate, every job
A certificate saves to the subcontractor’s record, so a subbie working on three of your sites renews it once and every site sees the new one.
Compliant or not, at a glance
The document compliance report lists every subcontractor against every certificate you ask for and says who is compliant. Export it to CSV for a head contractor or an auditor.
A record of what you held
Each subbie’s history shows every certificate they sent, when you approved it and who approved it.
A$49 a month plus GST, every feature included.
100 people can be active at once, with no limit on how many you put through in a year. Colleagues who work in the account with you are A$6 a month each.

What is a certificate of currency?
A short document from an insurer or broker confirming that a policy is in force: who is insured, the type of cover, the limit of liability and the period of insurance. Our guide to certificates of currency covers what to check on one.
Does WorkZerk check the cover amount or the insured’s name?
No. A person on your side reads each certificate and approves it or sends it back with a reason. The AI check reads the expiry date only, and compares it with the date the subcontractor typed in.
Does WorkZerk check the policy with the insurer?
No. WorkZerk keeps the copy the subbie uploaded, its expiry date and the record of who approved it and when. Confirming a policy with the insurer stays with you.
Who gets the renewal reminders?
The subcontractor, at the email address on their record, with their own link to upload the new certificate. The Requests screen shows you everything expiring soon.
Do subcontractors pay anything, or need an account?
No to both. Each subbie opens a private link in the browser on their phone. Only you pay for WorkZerk.
Can one certificate cover a subcontractor’s whole crew?
WorkZerk keeps a record per person, not per company. Ask the person you deal with for the business’s certificate, or ask each worker it covers. There is no separate company record.
How much does it cost?
One plan at A$49 a month plus GST, with every feature. 100 people can be active at once. Try it free for 30 days, no credit card.
Why does WorkZerk cost so much less?
It does one job (paperwork, expiry dates and chasing), not HR, payroll or training. There's no sales team: we'll happily show you on a live call, but nobody follows up, there's no quote and no contract to negotiate. It's one published price: A$49 a month plus GST, with 100 active people included. Above 100 at once, each extra person is 5 cents a day while they hold a live link, so 150 subcontractors with live links all month comes to about A$124 in total. You pay for the account, never the people you onboard.
