Why New South Wales employers order them 

Not so long ago, a police check in New South Wales meant collecting a form from NSW Police, taking it to a police station with your ID, paying, and waiting for the certificate to arrive in the post. Now the person applies on their phone, from Sydney or anywhere else in NSW, and there’s nothing to print, post or chase. 

Organisations in New South Wales order them for employment, voluntary work, and occupation-related licensing or registration. A check ordered in New South Wales 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 NSW 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 NSW 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 child-related roles need both. For the NSW Working with Children Check, contact us. 

  • 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.
