A nationally coordinated criminal history check is a "point in time check, " meaning it does not have a set expiry date.

The time frame depends on the requesting organisation's risk mitigation plan.
Approximately 30 per cent of checks get automatically referred to for 'manual processing' by the national police checking service's matching system.
A 'potential match' may be found if the applicant shares similar details with other individuals recorded in Australian police systems. This is because they have a commonly used name.
Processing of a check in those instances will take longer to progress, and the applicant should allow sufficient time when applying for their background check. Checks referred for manual processing can take up to 15 days or more to receive a result.
