National Police History Check: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to obtain an official record of your disclosable court outcomes for employment or volunteering purposes.
A National Police History Check is an official way to provide a record of your disclosable court outcomes to an employer or organization.
Who it's for
This check is for individuals who need to provide a background check to satisfy requirements for employment or volunteering roles.
What you get
You will receive an official document that lists your disclosable court outcomes. This is often referred to as a police check or NPC.
What it costs you
There is a processing fee for this service, but the exact amount varies depending on which provider you use to complete the check.
The catch to know
This check is only a snapshot in time. It reflects your history up to the moment the check is processed, meaning it does not "clear" you for life or prevent new records from appearing in the future.
How to apply
- Determine if your employer or volunteer organization requires this specific check.
- Select an authorized provider to process your application.
- Complete the required identification and background information.
- Pay the processing fee required by your chosen provider.
- Receive your official record via the provider.
