Let’s face it—compliance can feel like a headache. But it doesn’t have to be. With the new MVIS regulation now active in Australia, workshops servicing electric and hybrid vehicles must ensure that only qualified technicians access high-voltage repair data. Thanks to Autodata and Digidentity, this is now easier than ever.
The Compliance Challenge
Accessing regulated safety information—like data on high-voltage batteries or hydrogen fuel systems—requires technicians to prove they’re qualified. That means identity checks, qualifications upload, and multi-factor authentication (MFA). For many workshops, this might seem disruptive.
The Smart Way to Comply
Autodata’s integration with Digidentity offers a streamlined, in-platform process that eliminates paperwork and delays.
Here’s how it works:
1. Garage Owner Registration
Log in to Autodata’s Garage Self-Service Portal (GSMS). Add your ABN. Create your Digidentity Company Profile and invite your technicians.
2. Technician Onboarding
Each technician receives a digital invitation, downloads the Digidentity Wallet, and completes biometric ID verification. They upload their EV/Hybrid qualifications, which the garage admin then approves.
3. Access and MFA
Once approved, technicians scan a QR code within Autodata whenever they access MVIS-regulated content. MFA adds an extra layer of security—and peace of mind.
Why This Matters for Your Workflow
✅ No more manual forms
✅ One-time setup for ongoing access
✅ Secure storage of technician data
✅ Quick access to critical safety info
Whether you’re servicing one EV a week or ten a day, compliance doesn’t slow you down—it supports you.
What Happens if You’re Not Verified?
Unverified technicians won’t be able to access the required safety content. That means missed jobs, potential liability, and ultimately lost revenue.
Future-Proofing in New Zealand
While MVIS is not yet mandatory in New Zealand, the same tools are available for proactive workshops who want to prepare early. This makes Autodata and Digidentity the most forward-thinking combo in the region.
Conclusion
With the right tools, compliance doesn’t need to mean complexity. Autodata and Digidentity offer an efficient, intuitive pathway to meet regulatory obligations while keeping your operations running smoothly.
