Guaranteed to be valid Australia wide
A nationally coordinated criminal history check is valid in all States and Territories of Australia.
A police check lists an individual’s disclosable court outcomes (DCOs) if any. The DCOs are sourced from the databases of all Australian police agencies.
If there are no disclosable court outcomes (NDCO), the check result will return with a NDCO result.
Further information can be found on the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission website.
A police check is a “point in time check” which means there is no set expiry date. The results are valid up until the point of issue.
The requesting party alone can determine the expiry period of the police check based on their own internal risk mitigation policies.
However, most organisations in Tasmania turn down a police check that has been issued for longer than three (3) months.
A number of companies and organisations in Tasmania request for a police check before granting admittance or offering employment to a person.
If you are asked by a decision maker in Tasmania to submit a police check, there are multiple ways you can go about to obtain one:

Applicants that apply through Australian National Character Check do sometimes experience a difference in speed and efficiency when obtaining their police check online. 70 percent of police checks are returned to applicants in Tasmania within 24 hours. Approximately 30 percent of checks may be referred to one or more police agencies and can take longer than 10 business days to be returned, due to the manual nature of this process. Results are automatically emailed on the same day they are received. Overall, applicants save time and cost when applying for their police check online.
Apply through Tasmania Police Force:Applicants can also apply for a police check via the Tasmania Police Force website.
Applicants should note that the check on the ANCC® website is formally referred to as a nationally coordinated criminal history check and is valid throughout Australia. If you would like a check that is issued by a state or territory police force, please contact the criminal records section of your state or territory police force.
When applying for a police check, some of the information you need to provide include and is not limited to:
Applying for a police check if you are based in Tasmania through the Australian National Character Check website can be completed in a few simple steps with your internet-enabled device.
Step 1: Start the online police check application form;
Step 2: Make payment via any of our numerous payment options (PayPal or card)
Step 3: Provide further information and upload four forms of identification documents and a biometric link;
Step 4: Read and sign the online informed consent;
Step 5: Submit the application. The application will undergo a review by our verification staff who are based in Canberra, ACT.
Step 6: Receive your police check via email. A hard copy will also get dispatched if requested for this in the application form.
Once the application is completed and deemed to be compliant with government guidelines, it will be passed on by our system to the national police checking service for a result. The majority of checks (approximately 70 percent) are dispatched to applicants in 24 hours.
Around 30 percent of checks can be referred to one or more Australian police agencies because a ‘potential match’ may be found. This process can take longer than 10 business days to process, due to the manual nature of the process and the complexity of the check.
Manual reviews get referred automatically and may occur when part or all of the data on an applicant's file is similar to data on Australian criminal history databases. In such cases, a manual review is conducted by an official from Australian police agencies.
It is beyond the scope of Australian National Character Check to predict which applications or applicants may be referred for manual processing.
Checks referred for manual processing does not necessarily mean that an applicant has criminal history. Rather, it can be as a result of the search algorithm matching shared data like names and date of birth. Further information on how the service works can be obtained from the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission website.
Decision makers in Tasmanian institutions, companies and other organisations have a duty to secure their brand, staff and customers.
A police check provides disclosable criminal records of the individual (if any) that assists decision makers to make sound employment decisions.
