For trades and construction businesses in Victoria
WHS compliance software for trades in Victoria.
In Victoria the WHS regulator is WorkSafe Victoria. It expects notifiable incidents reported immediately with the site preserved, high-risk work licences current, and safety documents workers have actually read. Accorda keeps that evidence on a phone, on site, as the work happens.

What WorkSafe Victoria expects
Incidents recorded promptly with what happened and who was involved, assessed properly, and notifiable incidents (deaths, serious injuries, dangerous incidents) reported to WorkSafe Victoria immediately, with the site preserved until an inspector says otherwise. Inspectors walk individual incidents end to end. Requirements and agency names change; confirm specifics for your service with the regulator.
- Incidents captured on a phone in plain words, straight after they happen
- The notifiable decision, and who made it, on the record
- Corrective actions with owners, tracked to close-out
Licences and tickets in Victoria
High-risk work licences in Victoria are issued by WorkSafe Victoria, and the general construction induction (white card) is required before anyone starts on a construction site. Registration and licensing for building practitioners runs through the Victorian Building Authority, and electrical licensing through Energy Safe Victoria. Each has an expiry, and a head contractor or an inspector will ask for evidence that a worker held the right ticket on the day of the work. Requirements and agency names change; confirm specifics for your service with the regulator.
- High-risk work licences, white cards and trade licences tracked per worker with expiry dates
- Reminders before anything expires; expiring-soon at a glance
- Renewals keep the previous record, so the history is on file
Head contractors ask for the same evidence
A head contractor's prequalification asks for the same things an inspector does: current safety documents, evidence workers have read them, licences and tickets on file, and an incident register. A documented self-audit, even an imperfect one, tells a regulator or a head contractor something an informal look-around never can. Accorda's internal audit and one-click evidence pack are built for exactly that handover.
- Safety documents written with you and reviewed against the codes that apply
- Sign-offs on safety documents recorded per worker, with reminders
- Regulatory Radar watching WHS regulator sources and naming the documents a change affects
Start with the free readiness check
The free Compliance Readiness Check has a trades and construction question set: fourteen questions, about four minutes, and a breakdown across nine compliance domains.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Does Accorda report notifiable incidents to WorkSafe Victoria?
No. It records the incident, the notifiable decision and who made it; the notification itself goes through WorkSafe Victoria's own channel. Confirm current requirements with the regulator.
Can workers use it on site?
Yes. Accorda runs in the browser on a phone, so workers log incidents and sign off on documents on site, with no app to install.
Can we track high-risk work licences and tickets?
Yes. Every licence, ticket, check or insurance with an expiry date is tracked per worker, with a reminder before it expires and a renewal history.
