What is a Police Check, Police Clearance or Criminal Background Check?
The Australian police check is formally known as a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check. It is a report that is often required when applying for employment, positions of trust, licensing, student placement and volunteer work. The police check assists organisations to make informed decisions about an individual’s suitability for:
- Recruitment, job applications and pre-employment screening
- Volunteer and not for profit positions
- Working with children or vulnerable people
- Adoption applications
- Occupation related licensing
- Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety
- Firearm licensing.

In Australia, the ACIC administer the Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check, which can sometimes be referred to colloquially as a police check, Background Check, police check Certificate, National Police Clearance, Criminal Background Check, Criminal History Check, Criminal Record Verification and so on. All of these checks refer to the Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check.
There is one centralised criminal history database in Australia, which means instead of each state having their own police check, there is only one nationally accepted police check.
