About BadgeTrust

Building trust in
every credential

We're on a mission to make certificate fraud impossible — giving organisations, employers, and graduates a single source of truth they can rely on.

"Every qualification earned through hard work deserves to be verified — instantly, securely, and without doubt."

BadgeTrust was built to close the gap between issuing a certificate and proving its authenticity. We provide the infrastructure that makes that connection seamless for everyone involved.

What We Do

Verification you can build your processes around

From RTO certificate issuance to employer background checks, BadgeTrust handles the full verification lifecycle — so you don't have to.

Tamper-Proof Issuance

Every certificate is assigned a unique cryptographic code at the moment of issue. Any alteration is immediately detectable when the record is looked up.

Real-Time Lookups

Verifications complete in under two seconds via our globally distributed infrastructure. No waiting, no phone calls, no manual checks.

QR Code Ready

Every PDF certificate includes an embedded QR code. One scan from any smartphone opens the live verification page instantly.

Automated Delivery

Graduates receive their certificate by email the moment it's issued — with their personalised verification link and PDF attached.

Full Audit Trail

Every verification event is logged. Organisations can see exactly who checked a certificate, when, and from where.

Multi-Organisation Support

One platform, many issuers. BadgeTrust supports RTOs, training colleges, and academic institutions under a single verified registry.

Our Story

Started by people who saw the problem first-hand

BadgeTrust was founded after seeing how frequently fraudulent certificates were passing undetected through hiring processes. Paper certificates, PDF copies, and even digital badges were being faked with off-the-shelf tools.

We built a platform where the certificate itself is just the output — the verifiable record is what matters. Employers get an answer in seconds. Graduates get a permanent link they can share with confidence. RTOs get peace of mind.

Today BadgeTrust is trusted by training organisations across Australia, covering thousands of certificates across aged care, disability support, security operations, first aid, and more.

Our Values

What we stand for

Three principles guide every decision we make — from how we build the product to how we handle your data.

Trust First

We never compromise on the integrity of a verification result. Our systems are designed so that a "verified" result means exactly that — every single time.

Privacy by Design

We collect only what's needed to verify a certificate. Verifier identities are never shared with certificate holders, and all data is handled under the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

Always Improving

Credential fraud tactics evolve — so does our platform. We push regular updates to stay ahead of forgery methods and deliver a faster, smarter verification experience.
