Corexa Workforce Location Tracking Implementation Pack (Australia)
Employer implementation checklist and worker-notice template for service-visit GPS/location features.
Operational template only, not legal advice. Workplace surveillance, privacy, employment, consultation and notice requirements vary by jurisdiction and employment context. The employer must adapt this pack to its workforce and obtain advice where required.
1. How Corexa location tracking currently works
- A technician starts a customer-facing live tracking session for a specific service job; Corexa does not treat device permission alone as authority to track a worker.
- A new live tracking session requires a Corexa precise-location collection notice and user confirmation before the server creates the session.
- During an active session Corexa can process latitude/longitude, accuracy, time, heading/speed where supplied, route/ETA information and a time-limited customer tracking link.
- The application is designed to stop or expire tracking when the visit state changes, the technician stops it or the session expires. The current canonical live-tracking lifetime is two hours unless earlier stopped or replaced.
- The customer tracking page states that location is shared only for the service visit and automatically expires.
2. Employer pre-deployment checklist
- Identify every State/Territory in which affected workers perform work and review the surveillance/privacy/employment rules that apply there.
- Document the legitimate operational purpose, why precise location is necessary, when tracking can occur and who can access it.
- Issue any required written notice before surveillance commences and retain evidence of delivery. In NSW, tracking surveillance is subject to specific written-notice requirements and the Act generally requires at least 14 days' prior notice unless the employee agrees to a shorter period.
- For new workers, include location-tracking information in onboarding before any tracking requirement starts.
- Address consultation obligations under applicable awards, enterprise agreements, contracts or workplace policies where required.
- Set an internal rule that Corexa tracking is not to be used for covert, continuous or unrelated monitoring, disciplinary fishing or off-duty monitoring.
- Review the Fair Work right to disconnect before requiring any worker to monitor or respond to Corexa outside working hours.
- Nominate a workforce privacy/contact person and a process for questions, correction or complaints.

4. Corexa confirmation is not employer consent
The in-product confirmation is a just-in-time Corexa collection notice. It records that the user saw information about the live tracking session. It is not drafted or operated as a waiver of statutory rights, does not establish that employment consent is legally effective, and does not cure an employer's failure to give a notice or undertake consultation required by law.
