What Do Police Checks Include?

Police Checks are one of the simplest ways of protecting your business from a hiring decision that you might regret in the future. CVCheck’s web-based system makes ordering police checks online a simple and convenient process whilst maintaining the privacy and security of your applicant’s information.

A police check (more correctly called a National Criminal History Records Check) will provide information regarding all disclosable convictions initiated by the police — recorded in any Australian police jurisdiction in compliance with spent conviction legislation. The results will also include any current pending charges that have been initiated by the police against the individual.

National Police Checks

All police jurisdictions in Australia issue National Police Certificates using information extracted from the same databases — regardless of whether you order one through the Federal Police, your State Police, CVCheck or Australia Post you will receive a National Police Certificate.

Fast Online Delivery

The advantage of using CVCheck is that CVCheck’s National Police Certificates are provided electronically and are usually returned within 24 hours (often the same day). The Certificates provided by CVCheck are real police certificates issued on police letterhead.

The Police Check is commonly used by:

• Employers who want to check all potential employees as a part of their risk management procedures.
• Employers conducting annual checks on all current employees in positions of trust.
• Employers conducting random checks on their current employees under their risk management policies.
• Individuals wanting a copy of their own Police Clearance to supply to potential employers to stand out from the crowd and make themselves more employable.

Turnaround time: 1-2 days *^ (84.3% are returned within 24 hours)
