National police checks

The National Police checks team is currently experiencing a high volume of applications. As a result, there may be delays in receiving confirmation of your submission. It is advised not to reapply while waiting for your email confirmation.

A National Police Certificate (NPC) is a summary of your offender history in Australia. It's sometimes called a national police check. We can also do NPC's on Australian companies. These are called company police checks.

If you need help with any of these services contact us.
