Why you may need a police check
If you’ve ever had a job or held a volunteer position before, you’ve probably had to undergo a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check. Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks are commonplace; by getting them done quickly and efficiently, you can avoid delays in the hiring process. With online and phone verification, this process is now faster than ever while still retaining the same level of accurate documentation. In the past, this was done by post and took a significantly longer amount of time.
Tasmania Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks will 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. Please also be aware of the spent convictions scheme, which annuls a conviction after a period of 10 years has passed with no further criminal offences.
Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks include criminal information from all the other states and territories as well, making it so one Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check will get everything done for either an organisation or an individual. If you require a check for Visa or Immigration purposes, you must source your check directly via the Australian Federal Police.
