Where do I get my police check done?
Your NCRC must be obtained through an ACIC Accredited Body or an Australian State or Territory Police Force (e.g., NSW Police or the Australian Federal Police).
For detailed information—including guidance for those currently employed by NSW Health, international students, or those completing an AFP NCRC—please refer to the Key Information page.
You must complete an International Police Check. If you are unable to provide an International Police Check, complete an Overseas Statutory Declaration instead. If completing the Overseas Statutory Declaration you must write your full name, address and occupation. Read the first paragraph of the declaration and cross out the text that does not apply to you; I do not have / have criminal convictions/pending charges. The authorised witness must check you have fully completed the declaration and cross out the text that does not apply in both sections 1 and 2.
