Australia's Trusted Online Provider of Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks

National Clearance Australia is a fully online provider of Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks (NCCHC), accredited by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC).

National Clearance Australia (NCA) is a service operated by Job Trainer Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 95 647 755 600), a body accredited by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) — the federal government agency that administers the National Police Checking Service. As an ACIC-accredited body, we are authorised to submit applications for Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks directly to the ACIC on behalf of applicants. The resulting Check Results Report is issued by the ACIC and recognised across every Australian state and territory.

Founded to meet the growing demand for fast, reliable, and compliant workforce screening, NCA serves individual applicants, employers, licensing bodies, healthcare providers, volunteer organisations, and government agencies who require an NCCHC as part of their assessment processes for employment, probity, licensing and Commonwealth purposes.

Job Trainer Australia (RTO 45742) is also a nationally registered training organisation regulated by ASQA — bringing deep compliance expertise and regulatory rigour to every NCCHC application we process.

Standard & Volunteer Checks — Who Can Apply & What It Costs

National Clearance Australia offers both check types available under the National Police Checking Service. The Check Results Report for every check is issued by the ACIC.

Standard Check

$59.00 total, incl. GST

For anyone requiring a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check for paid employment, probity assessment, an occupational licence, or a Commonwealth purpose. Available to individual applicants applying for themselves, and to approved organisations screening their own current or prospective staff.

Apply — Standard Check

Volunteer Check

$29.00 total, incl. GST

A reduced-fee check for people volunteering in an unpaid role for charitable purposes with a public benefit (for example, with a registered charity, community service, not-for-profit or benevolent organisation), or students undertaking a compulsory unpaid vocational placement required by an Australian-based educational institution. Not available for paid roles.

Apply — Volunteer Check
Good to know: the fee shown is the total cost payable by an individual applicant. Most results are returned within 1–2 business days; some checks are referred to police agencies for manual processing — for example where a name closely matches existing police records — and these can take longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about National Clearance Australia and how the Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check works.

Is National Clearance Australia accredited by the ACIC?
+

Yes. National Clearance Australia is a service operated by Job Trainer Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 95 647 755 600), which is accredited under the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) National Police Checking Service Accreditation Scheme. This accreditation means we are authorised to submit applications for Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks (NCCHC) directly to the ACIC on behalf of individuals and approved organisations. Learn more about the National Police Checking Service.

What is a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC)?
+

A Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) is a point-in-time check conducted by the ACIC through the National Police Checking Service. It discloses a person's disclosable court outcomes — which may include convictions, findings of guilt with no conviction, good behaviour bonds or other court orders, pending charges, and traffic offence history — drawn from police records across all Australian states and territories. It is commonly required by employers for pre-employment screening, by licensing bodies, by volunteer and community organisations, NDIS and aged care providers, and government agencies.

Who issues the result of my check?
+

The Check Results Report is issued by the ACIC through the National Police Checking Service, based on police information provided by Australian police agencies. National Clearance Australia verifies your identity, submits your application to the ACIC, and delivers the ACIC-issued result to you. All ACIC-accredited bodies have the same access to the Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check.

How long does an NCCHC take through National Clearance Australia?
+

The majority of checks submitted through National Clearance Australia are returned within 1–2 business days. Some applications are referred to police agencies for manual processing — typically where an applicant's name closely matches existing police records — and these can take longer. We keep applicants informed of their result status throughout the process, and you can contact us directly for updates at any time.

What check types are available, and what do they cost?
+

We offer both check types available under the National Police Checking Service: a Standard Check ($59.00 total, incl. GST) for employment, probity, licensing and Commonwealth purposes, and a reduced-fee Volunteer Check ($29.00 total, incl. GST) for people in genuine unpaid volunteer roles for charitable purposes with a public benefit, or students undertaking compulsory unpaid vocational placements required by an Australian-based educational institution.

Is an NCCHC from National Clearance Australia recognised everywhere in Australia?
+

Yes. A Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check is recognised across all Australian states and territories — New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. The check draws on police information nationally through the ACIC's National Police Checking Service, and the Check Results Report is issued by the ACIC. Please note an NCCHC is a national check and is not a substitute for a state-based check where one is specifically required.

How does National Clearance Australia protect my personal information?
+

We handle all personal information in strict compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). All data is transmitted using industry-standard encryption and stored within Australia. Applicant information is used solely for the purpose for which you have given informed consent — processing your Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check — and is never sold, nor shared with third parties beyond what you have consented to or what is required by law.

What if my check result contains information I want to dispute?
+

If your Check Results Report contains a disclosable court outcome, we will notify you first and give you a reasonable opportunity to review the result and raise any dispute or concern before the result is shared with any employer or other organisation, or relied upon in any decision. Details of our dispute resolution process are provided before you apply, and any dispute is escalated using the official dispute process. Contact us if you have any concerns about your result.

Can businesses use National Clearance Australia for staff screening?
+

Yes — employers across Australia direct their staff and candidates to us. Each applicant applies for themselves online in minutes, receives their result directly, and can then provide it to you as their employer. If your organisation has ongoing or higher-volume screening needs and would like to discuss a tailored arrangement, contact us — organisation-level arrangements are subject to ACIC approval requirements, and we can guide you through what is involved.

Do cabin crew applicants for Australian airlines need an NCCHC?
+

Many Australian airlines ask cabin crew applicants to provide a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check as part of their pre-employment screening — always confirm the exact requirements with the airline you are applying to. National Clearance Australia is operated by an ACIC-accredited body, and the Check Results Report is issued by the ACIC. Apply online, with most results returned in 1–2 business days.

Where can cabin crew get both their RSA and NCCHC in one place?
+

National Clearance Australia and Job Trainer Australia are part of the same group, making them a one-stop compliance shop for cabin crew applicants. Complete your nationally recognised RSA (SITHFAB021) online through Job Trainer Australia, and your Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check online through National Clearance Australia — both common requirements covered, all online, with fast turnaround.
