Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks are a part of everyday life, with many jobs and volunteer positions requiring them before commencing employment and during the course of your work. For both employers and employees, these checks must be done swiftly and thoroughly, so the hiring process isn't interrupted, and the background of the potential employee is fully understood before the employment contract is signed.
Historically, Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks were done via a lengthy postal process, but with online verification tools, this process has been streamlined to allow for quicker results without sacrificing accuracy.
Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks include all other states and territories, as well as the Federal Police database but a recent change to Victorian law means that minor historical offences may be wiped from the records and will not show up on your Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check.
Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks may show the following legal issues: Pending matters awaiting trial, charges, court convictions (including penalty and/or sentence), guilty findings without conviction, and good behaviour bonds or other court orders.
Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks should always be conducted by an agency that has accreditation with the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC). Results are usually returned in one day, but checks can take longer for people who have common names. Further checks are required to ensure the record does not include any other individual's information.
Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks are appropriate for all employment and volunteer purposes. If you require a check for Visa or Immigration purposes, you must source your check directly via the Australian Federal Police.
