A product tour on sample data

Three short tours through real Workstride screens on the Northfold sample world: a consultant's morning, a placement becoming claims, and a Security Contact granting access.

Sample data. Invented names.

Workstride is being built for accreditation by DEWR as a Third Party Employment System. It is not yet accredited.

Each tour's first step shows its screen straight away. Later steps show their screen once JavaScript loads; every step's caption and the "Read this step as text" transcript describe it fully either way. Nothing here is built or sent by you: the screens are recreations, and every control inside them is inert.

Feature pages behind this tour

See it on sample data, with the people building it.

A walkthrough covers the parts of Workstride your teams would use, the status of each one, and the approval steps your organisation takes.

Using Workstride with participant data first needs DEWR to accredit the Workstride system and us to hold a Third Party IT Vendor Deed, then your organisation's written approval from the Department (IEA Guidelines Part A 7.2.2).

Book a walkthrough See where accreditation stands

Workstride is new, and we are inviting Inclusive Employment Australia providers to help shape it before launch. Help shape Workstride.
