Additional background checks offered by CrimCheck

Beyond our standard screening services, CrimCheck offers a suite of specialised background checks designed to support compliance, risk management, and due diligence. These checks are commonly used for roles involving financial responsibility, governance, regulatory oversight, or access to sensitive systems and data.

Education verification check

Confirms an Individual's academic qualifications directly with the issuing Institution. Verifies details such as degrees, certifications, attendance dates and completion status to ensure the accuracy of candidate credentials.

Anti-money laundering/Counter terrorism financing check (AML/CT)

Screens Individuals against sanctions lists, watchlists, and other financial crime databases.

Supports compliance obligations and helps Organisations reduce exposure to money laundering, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes.

Politically exposed person check (PEP)

A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) screening check helps identify Individuals who hold, or have held, prominent public positions and may present a higher risk of bribery, corruption, or financial crime.

PEP screening is a key component of many Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) compliance programs.

Banned and disqualified register check

Identifies whether an Individual has been banned or disqualified from managing companies or holding certain positions of responsibility.

Commonly used for Director appointments, governance roles, and financial oversight positions.

Frequently asked questions

I have a criminal record, should I tell my Employer or Volunteer Organisation?

This depends on the role and your employer's requirements. Some positions require you to disclose certain criminal history, while others do not. If you're unsure, check the job requirements or speak directly with your employer. Being honest and upfront about your circumstances can help build trust with a prospective employer.

A criminal record does not automatically prevent someone from working or volunteering. Employers and organisations generally assess any disclosed information based on its relevance to the role and any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

‍

How long is a police check valid for?

A police check does not have an official expiry date. It is considered a point-in-time check that reflects criminal history information available on the date of issue. Many Organisations choose to renew checks every one to three years as part of their ongoing compliance requirements.

‍

What happens if a police check identifies a criminal record?

A criminal record does not automatically prevent someone from working or volunteering. Employers and Organisations assess any disclosed information based on its relevance to the role and any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. If you feel that the information included in your results is not correct, you can lodge a dispute by contacting us.

‍

How fast are your turnaround times for checks?

We understand speed matters, that's why the majority of our checks are returned within minutes of final lodgment, helping you make faster decisions without compromising on accuracy or compliance.

Is a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History check the same as a police check?

Yes, a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check is the same as a national police check. They both refer to the same police records. These checks can also be referred to as police clearance and national clearance certificates.

What information is included in the check?

A Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check shows all disclosable court outcomes and criminal charges. This includes any pending court charges, findings of guilt, suspended sentences, convictions leading to served sentences, and all other criminal convictions that are not classed as spent convictions. Criminal convictions include crimes such as drink-driving, speeding or shoplifting. Your Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check will turn up an NDCO if you have no criminal history.
