National police checks for South Australian residents and employers. Processed through our ACIC-accredited partner, results within 48 hours.
Overview
National police checks in South Australia are processed through the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), which coordinates records from SA Police and all other Australian police agencies. The resulting certificate provides a complete national criminal history picture valid across all Australian jurisdictions.
RefChecks fulfils police checks through our ACIC-accredited partner, providing legally recognised police check certificates for South Australian employers, licensing bodies, and individuals. Industries commonly requiring police checks in SA include healthcare, aged care, education, hospitality, and defence industry supply chains.
Results are typically returned within 48 hours, though some checks take longer if a manual review is required. Certificates are delivered digitally and accepted as the standard form of criminal history verification across South Australia.
