Why Police Checks?

A National Police Check (NPC) is one of the most commonly required pre-employment checks in Australia. Processed through the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), it searches for disclosable court outcomes, pending charges, and findings of guilt across all Australian states and territories.

Refchecks submits police check applications directly to accredited ACIC channels. Most checks are returned within 1–3 business days, though some may take up to 5 days if manual review is required. Results are delivered digitally to your dashboard — no paper forms or postal delays.

Police checks are mandatory for industries including healthcare, education, aged care, financial services, and government.
