      Get started.

    • How long does a police clearance in WA last?

      A police clearance in WA is a ‘point-in-time’ check with no formal period of validity and is current as of the date of issue. Many employers and organisations only accept a police clearance (also known as a police check) in WA that has been issued in the past 12 months.

    • What is the cost of a police clearance in WA?

      A police clearance in WA costs $49.90 including GST when you order directly from CVCheck.

    • How long does a police clearance in WA take?

      The majority of police clearances in WA are processed, and the results returned, within 1 business day.

      However, approximately 30% of the police checks ordered within Australia are referred for manual processing. If this occurs, the result may take from 1 – 15, and in some instances more, business days to be returned.

      Processing of the police clearances in WA may take longer if the applicant shares similar details with other individuals recorded in police databases, particularly if they have a common name. It is therefore always recommended that applicants order their police clearance at least 2 weeks before the certificate is required.

    • What is the difference between a police clearance in WA and a criminal history check?

      Other than the issuing organisation’s branding and logo that may appear on the certificate, there is no difference between a police clearance in WA and a criminal history check in Australia. Since July 2018, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), the government body that regulates police checks, formally applied the title of Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) to police checks and clearances in Australia.

      A police clearance in Australia may sometimes be referred to as a:

      • National Police Check (NPC)
      • National Police History Check (NPHC)
      • National Criminal History Check (NCHC)
      • National Criminal Record Check (NCRC)
      • State Police Check (no longer available)

Turnaround times are based on our experience of the time taken for the majority of these checks to be delivered. However, CVCheck is reliant on third parties for supply of information, and in some cases those third parties may take longer to supply that information. Accordingly, CVCheck does not give any time guarantees for any checks or packages. It is CVCheck’s policy and practice to keep you informed as much as possible if there are any unusual delays.
