Fast Reliable Police Checks

Fast Reliable Police Checks

VerifyNow’s National Police Check (also known as a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check) is a certificate that provides any Disclosable Court Outcomes (DCO) and pending charges associated with your name. National police checks are required for certain paid and voluntary positions as outlined by legislation or the employing organisation.

An Australian police check shows Disclosable Court Outcomes (DCO). These include but are not limited to:

  • Any charge found proven in court
  • Details of the court that heard the charge, the date and any penalty or sentence
  • Findings of guilt by a court, even if no conviction is recorded
  • Court convictions, even if no sentence or penalty was given
  • Good behaviour bonds and similar court orders
  • Charges laid by police but not yet proven, or otherwise, in court
  • Current investigations in which the subject is a suspect
  • Children’s Court convictions and guilty findings
  • Traffic convictions and guilty findings
  • On-the-spot fines issued by police that ended up in court.

As an accredited body with the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), VerifyNow are authorised to submit checks on behalf of organisations to assist these organisations (Legal Entity Customers) with the screening of their employees.

** Note: volunteer police checks can only be used for voluntary purposes and not for paid positions of employment. The cost for volunteer police checks is offered at a reduced price.

Why is employment screening important to my business?
Know who you are hiring and mitigate risks to your business by confirming eligibility to work, requisite expertise, qualifications, criminal history, integrity and more. The value of employment screening services extends beyond the on-boarding experience. It can be a regular health check on your organisation’s existing workforce too, by ensuring job specific qualification are current, memberships and licences are valid, police checks are up to date, and industry regulation job requirements continue to be compliant.
Who conducts employment background screening?
Companies such as Cogent Business Solutions conduct employment background screening. We are an accredited body with the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and member of the Professional Background Screening Association.
How far back do employers review?
The duration varies as it is subject to employer’s requirements. It is also dependent on the position and the nature of the role. Some positions may only review the last five years of employment, while others may take into consideration 10, 15 or even 20 years of employment history.
Can anyone undergo employment screening?
Yes, anyone can undergo employment screening providing it is with the applicant’s informed consent. This consent allows the prospective employer company and their agents to complete the employment screening process.
