Worker Checks is your solution to your data sovereignty issues – All Data stored in Australia

All Worker Checks data is stored onshore in Australia.  This is a Commonwealth requirement specified by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC).

Organisations are not permitted to store the results of any Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) on a shared storage or Human Resource (HR) solutions platform that is accessible by other entities or is located outside of Australia.

If you are a business / enterprise customer of Worker Checks and need to store the results of any Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) on a shared storage or Human Resource (HR) solutions platform, you must provide Worker Checks with:

– the state/territory and country of data centres used to store NCCHC information. In addition, If cloud-based, describe a high-level architecture overview including geographic hosting information.

Worker Checks will provide this information and gain approval from ACIC.

Visit Worker Checks Business Solution page. Under “Register a business account” add to the end of existing text:

“To register as a business customer with Worker Checks, Recruitment and Labour Hire Organisations must:

– agree to the Customer Terms of Use (ToU);

– only receive the results of a NCCHC from an Accredited Body such as Worker Checks; and

– agree to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) when dealing with any personal or police information provided as part of the NCCHC. The requirement to ensure such compliance will sit with Worker Checks, as the ACIC Accredited Body under the Agreement.”
