Why Australian Capital Territory employers order them 

Across Canberra and the ACT, the person applies on their phone, so there are no police station queues, paper forms or postal delays. 

Organisations in the Australian Capital Territory order them for employment, voluntary work, and occupation-related licensing or registration. A check ordered in the Australian Capital Territory is matched against police records across every Australian state and territory, so it covers people who’ve lived or worked interstate, and most results come back within minutes. 

What ACT employers often need alongside a police check 

The certificate is nationally coordinated, so one ordered in Canberra is the same as one ordered anywhere else in Australia. For what it covers and what your candidate needs, see our national police check page. 

Questions from ACT employers 

  • No. It’s the same nationally coordinated certificate, matched against police records across every state and territory. 

  • Most come back within minutes of the person finishing the application. About 25% to 30% are referred to a police agency for review, usually because someone with a similar name has a criminal record, and those take longer. If the person disputes a result, one of our verification officers handles it, and that can take longer too. 

  • They confirm the personal details already on their profile, add any previous legal names and five years of address history, and give consent. 

  • No. It’s a separate requirement, and roles that need it need both. 

  • No. The certificate covers the person, wherever they work. 

  • It’s a point-in-time check, current as of the date it’s issued, with no formal period of validity. Many employers and organisations only accept one issued in the past 12 months. 

  • Yes. Since July 2018, the formal name is a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check. Employers often call it a police check or police clearance.
