1. POLICE CHECKS IN 1 HOUR
VERITAS CHECK (WWW.VERITASCHECK.COM.AU) OFFERS THE LATEST IN
TECHNOLOGY TO ASSIST YOU IN OBTAINING A NATIONAL POLICE CHECK IN AS
LITTLE AS 1 HOUR*

2. OF COURSE THERE ALWAYS IS A DISCLAIMER…SO
LET’S GET THIS OUT OF THE WAY!
• All agencies authorised by CrimTrac to collect personal data and a consent to process police checks must
process their checks through CrimTrac (see CrimTrac Accredited Agency List June 2015 for the current
listing).
• CrimTrac’s website states the following process times1:
• “Around 70% of police checks are completed almost instantly and the results are provided to the organisation that
requested the checks within minutes.”
• “The remaining 30% of police checks are referred to one or more police agencies. Sometimes this process takes
longer than 10 business days.”
• “Our aim, along with our police partner agencies, is to process 95% of police checks within 10 business days.”
• So when Veritas Check states that it provides police checks in as little as 1 hour, this claim is based upon
CrimTrac’s processing times AND based on Veritas Check’s straight-through backend processing system.

3. CRIMTRAC AGENCIES & POLICE AGENCIES
• There are two ways in which you can
apply for a Police Check:
• Police checks may be submitted
through CrimTrac accredited
organisations
• Police Checks may be submitted
through an Australian police
agency in your state of residence
• Regardless of which way you apply
for a police check, all accredited
organisations have been approved by
CrimTrac AND the local state police
agency to access the National Police
Checking System.
So what does this mean in plain English? The results of a national police check will be the same regardless of
whether you apply through a CrimTrac accredited broker or a state police agency.

4. IF THE RESULTS OF A POLICE CHECK ARE THE SAME WHY
DOES IT TAKE SOME AGENCIES LONGER TO PROVIDE THE
RESULTS?
It’s all in the technology!
What do police agencies do best?
Fight crime on the streets? Why of
course yes!
Would you expect police agencies to
utilise the latest internet & mobile
technology features to enable you to
apply for a police check at a time
and place of your choosing and using
any mobile device you choose?
Well…perhaps maybe no?
Innovative technology companies are just that...innovative technology companies. These kinds of companies
focus on enabling rich user-centric technology to provide a positive experience in optimal times.

6. POLICE CHECKS FOR EMPLOYMENT OR
VOLUNTEERING – WHICH DO YOU NEED?
• In the current state of affairs, the need
to ensure that persons working with
vulnerable people (e.g. children and the
elderly) cannot be over emphasised.
• Police checks for volunteer purposes or
employment are in essence identical
checks.
• The results you obtain for persons
regardless of whether the stated
purpose is for volunteering or
employment, will display any disclosable
court outcomes.
“Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of
his best wishes.” Miguel De Cervantes

7. POLICE CHECKS FOR IMMIGRATION OR
CITIZENSHIP (WWW.AFPCHECK.COM)
• To enter into Australia, the
Department of Immigration
and Border Protection
requires you to be of good
character.
• Your entry will be assessed
and determined by DIBP
against character
requirements.
• As part of your visa
application, you will be
required to provide a police
check to satisfy the character
requirements.
DIBP will only accepts Police Checks issued by the Australian Federal Police as part of their character
assessment. To obtain an AFP Police Check, you can visit: www.afpcheck.com.

8. NOT ALL POLICE CHECKS ARE THE SAME?
• According to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, Police
Checks for immigration or citizenship purposes must be issued by the
Australian Federal Police (see: https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa/Char)
• You can obtain an AFP Police Check from either the AFP direct, or via
www.afpcheck.com.
• Both of these agencies will provide you with an AFP Police Check accepted by
the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
What is the difference between the two agencies? Think back to the beginning of this presentation…innovative
technology companies are just that…innovative technology companies.
