Before CrossVault
She knew the answers. Pinning them to the right clause was where the hours went.
When a complex SCHADS Award question came up at Beyond Disability Services, Betty's workflow looked like this:
- Manually searching the SCHADS Award PDF
- Liaising with the NDIS Commission, Fair Work, and the Law Institute of Victoria
- Working through the interpretation of specific clauses on her own
The knowledge wasn't the bottleneck — the time it took to ground that knowledge in the right clause was.
"I was manually searching through the SCHADS Award for the information. Dependent on the complexity of my concern, I would be liaising with the NDIS Commission, Fair Work and the Law Institute of Victoria."
Why she tried it
A LinkedIn outreach. Healthy scepticism.
Betty came across CrossVault through a LinkedIn outreach. Like most providers seeing yet another platform pitched at them, she was sceptical at first. She tried it anyway.
"I received an email via LinkedIn showcasing this platform. I was sceptical at first — however, the platform is a great resource."
After CrossVault
Same rigour. A fraction of the time.
Now in a HR and Compliance Management role, Betty uses CrossVault as a working tool to keep her team grounded in the Award:
- Cross-references compliance concerns with the specific SCHADS clause
- Defines clause interpretations without first calling external bodies
- Addresses HR matters in a timely manner — without sacrificing rigour
"I am able to address human resource and compliance matters more efficiently. I am able to cross-reference compliance concerns with the relevant clause and define interpretations in a timely manner."
Would she recommend it?
Yes — especially for HR and compliance professionals.
Betty's recommendation is targeted: people who already know employment legislation and the SCHADS Award, and want a faster path to the clause that backs them up.
"CrossVault is a great tool to have when you have knowledge of employment legislation and the SCHADS Award, however you require an efficient way to cross-check this knowledge and compliance management concerns with specific clauses within the SCHADS Award."
