Know your police check Certificate

National police check is a crucial element for meeting the employment requirements in Australia. These checks demonstrate the suitability of an applicant for volunteering services, unpaid work, or working with vulnerable groups such as children or adults with disabilities.

Organisations use these checks to make informed decisions about an applicant. A police check is undertaken with the informed consent of the applicant being checked. police checks help fasten the employment screening process and eliminates the chance of security threats.
