Anybody who applies for a National Police Check cannot control the process once the application is submitted. The important rules to follow as a preventative measure are to complete the application correctly.
For a successful application, you must provide everything asked of you in terms of personal information and identity documentation.
Check all dates to make sure documents are valid, and double check that you have entered all information correctly.
Generally, problems with the application itself can be resolved by the applicant if they read and follow the steps carefully.
All applicants should consider spellings, typing errors, spacing format and consistency to enable a smooth process.

Processing can only be escalated in URGENT CIRCUMSTANCES
An urgent priority can only be applied to checks where a delay in results may have a direct impact on the
care, safety or provision of essential services within the community.
