Police checks are requested by industries and organisations before offering employment, giving out contracts licenses or accreditations in Australia.

Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check certificates list all the disclosable court outcomes (DCOs) about an individual such as convictions, sentences and pending charges across the country. Some of these convictions are;

  • All guilty findings, behaviour bonds, community-based orders and suspended sentences.
  • Traffic infringements like; drink/drug driving, over speeding and others which lead to convictions.

How long is a police check certificate valid?

police checks are requested by a third authority, which makes the validity of police check at the discretion of the requesting authority. A police check is a "point in time check" which means it does not have a set date of expiration. Most companies/organisations inform the individual/staff when to provide updated versions of the police check according to their internal risk mitigation strategy.
