What is the difference between an AFP and Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check?

Nationally Coordinated Criminal History or AFP Check?

You need to get a police check, but you’re not sure and you ask – Which Police Check do I need? Is it a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check or a Federal Police Check?

In most instances (such as employment), you will only need to obtain a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check.

Worker Checks can provide AFP police checks for:

• People seeking employment with the Commonwealth Government
• Work-related checks due to legislation or regulations
• Industry-specific standards/compliance requirement (e.g. Banking and Financial Services Industry)
• People who reside overseas
• Overseas employment
• Residents of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Jervis Bay Territory and external Commonwealth territories
