Can I Use My Police Check for Multiple Employers?
Learn how to share your police check certificate with multiple employers, considering recency requirements and privacy guidelines.
Your police check certificate belongs to you. You are free to share it with as many employers, licensing bodies, or organisations as you choose, provided the certificate remains within the recency period they require.
While you can share one certificate with multiple parties, each organisation sets its own recency threshold. One employer may accept a certificate up to 12 months old, while another may require one issued within the last 3 months. Always confirm each recipient's requirement before sharing.
Your certificate is available as a downloadable PDF from your National Clearance Australia dashboard. You can share it via email, upload it to a recruiter's platform, or print a physical copy.
Your certificate contains sensitive personal information. Only share it with legitimate, authorised parties who have a lawful reason to request it.
