Why South Australia employers order them 

South Australians used to collect a police clearance form, gather 100 points of ID, take it to a police station or a Justice of the Peace, pay in person, then wait about 10 business days plus postage. Now the person applies on their phone, from Adelaide or anywhere else in SA, and there’s nothing to print, post or chase. 

Organisations in South Australia order them for employment, voluntary work, and occupation-related licensing or registration. A check ordered in South Australia 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 SA employers often need alongside a police check 

The certificate is nationally coordinated, so one ordered in Adelaide 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 SA 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. 

  • 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.
