VEVO needs an urgent security upgrade when compared to the USA's 'e-verify' system
Migration Alliance has made the following submission to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship today after a recent security glitch in the VEVO system. This glitch was spotted by Migration Alliance and led to VEVO being pulled offline for a period of time. Previous articles on the problems with VEVO can be found here and here.
Dear XXXX [name witheld]
Following recent problems with VEVO which Migration Alliance brought to the DIBP's attention, it is my submission that VEVO needs an urgent security upgrade.
I have had a look around the world at alternative systems which allow employers to enrol to verify a person's work rights. I believe the Australian system is a breach of privacy and is currently not safeguarding third-party information, not properly verifying enrolled organisations.May I suggest that the DIBP move towards the model that is operating in the USA by the USA Citizenship and Immigration Services (UCIS) known as 'e-verify'.
For more information on the system please see:

I suggest that DIBP move towards the industry benchmark in this regard as currently VEVO is not 'best practice'.
Please could you pass this onto the relevant persons at the DIBP for their consideration?
Thank you.
