What is a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check?

A Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) involves checking the police history of an applicant and may be required for a range of reasons such as employment screening. It is also an ASIC requirement for ASX listed entities, and when applying for Australian Credit or Financial Services Licences. The NCCHC involves identifying and releasing any relevant Australian police information subject to relevant spent convictions / non-disclosure legislation and/or information release policies. Each NCCHC can only be undertaken with the informed consent of the person being checked. The process involves:

Searching a central index containing the names of persons of interest to police,
Possible match(es) referred to the relevant police services for evaluation against their records, and
Issuing an NCCHC result.

This background check can be completed online for individuals in NSW, VIC, QLD, ACT, SA, WA, TAS, and NT.

HR Department

As a Human Resources team, you play a vital role in acting as a gatekeeper to your company, and it’s important that you know who you’re hiring. Conducting an NCCHC on potential employees helps to reduce the risk of theft, fraud and other criminal activity that could have a serious impact on your organisation.

Child Care

As of June 2013, all jurisdictions in Australia have some form of child-related employment pre-screening legislation. These laws make it mandatory for individuals employed in certain occupations to meet specific screening requirements.

Cleaning Services

Security is a key concern for your clients as cleaners often work unsupervised with full access to residential and commercial properties. It’s important that you know that the people you’re hiring are trustworthy since they are the face of your business and have the potential to make or break your reputation.

Government

Many government departments require background checks as a condition of employment since employees often have access to highly sensitive information. In addition, some government agencies require volunteers to undergo background checks to satisfy conditions for funding.

We understand that as a volunteer organisation, one of your main priorities is ensuring the safety of your volunteers and the people they’re working with. Fulfilling this duty of care is pivotal to your organisation’s success and reputation, and you don’t want to take any risks when it comes to background checks.
