If you lived in China for six or more consecutive months at any point as an adult, employers in regulated Australian industries may still require a China international criminal history check as part of pre-employment screening. This is standard practice in aged care, disability support, healthcare, and education sectors regardless of how long ago you lived in China.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Why can’t I just get the Chinese government certificate from Australia?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">The Chinese government No Criminal Record Certificate (\u65e0\u72af\u7f6a\u8bb0\u5f55\u8bc1\u660e) is issued by the local Public Security Bureau (PSB) or Notary Public Office at the city level in China. Applying from overseas typically requires a representative or proxy in China to submit documents in person, authenticate them through China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then post them to Australia \u2014 a process that can take weeks or months. The Worker Checks China check bypasses this entirely and is completed 100% online from Australia.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Is this check suitable for Australian visa or immigration applications?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">No. The Australian Department of Home Affairs only accepts police clearance certificates issued directly by official Chinese government authorities for immigration purposes. For Australian visa applications requiring a China police check, you need the official No Criminal Record Certificate from a Chinese PSB or Notary Public Office. The Worker Checks China check is for employment screening only.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">I was only a student in China \u2014 do I still need this check?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">If you studied in China for six months or more as an adult, yes \u2014 most Australian employers in regulated industries will require an international criminal history check covering that period. The requirement applies regardless of the reason for your stay.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Is this check suitable for AHPRA health practitioner registration?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">No. AHPRA requires international criminal history checks from its own approved suppliers \u2014 currently Fit2Work and AIS International. The Worker Checks China check is suitable for employment screening but not for AHPRA registration purposes.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Does my China police check expire?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">The certificate is a point-in-time check with no formal expiry date. However, your employer may require a check completed within a certain period \u2014 typically the last 12 months. Confirm recency requirements with your employer before applying.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Can I share my certificate electronically with my employer?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">Yes. Your certificate is stored securely in your Worker Checks CheckHub portal.

This applies to Australian expats who worked or studied in China, Chinese nationals who have migrated to Australia, and anyone else who lived in China for six or more months.<\/p>\n <p>This check \u2014 also known as an overseas police clearance or ICHC \u2014 is for Australian <strong>employment screening<\/strong>. It is separate from the Chinese government No Criminal Record Certificate (\u65e0\u72af\u7f6a\u8bb0\u5f55\u8bc1\u660e) required for visa and immigration applications, and is completed entirely online through Worker Checks from Australia without needing anyone in China.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"box-info\">\n <strong>Regulated industries that commonly require this check:<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"pill-grid\">\n <span class=\"pill\">Aged Care<\/span>\n <span class=\"pill\">Disability \/ NDIS<\/span>\n <span class=\"pill\">Healthcare & Nursing<\/span>\n <span class=\"pill\">Education & Teaching<\/span>\n <span class=\"pill\">Childcare<\/span>\n <span class=\"pill\">IT & Engineering<\/span>\n <span class=\"pill\">Finance & Banking<\/span>\n <span class=\"pill\">Community Services<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"section\">\n <span class=\"section-label\">Key difference<\/span>\n <h2>China Government PCC vs Worker Checks \u2014 What’s the Difference?<\/h2>\n <p>This is the most important distinction to understand before you apply.

If you lived in China for six or more consecutive months at any point as an adult, employers in regulated Australian industries may still require a China international criminal history check as part of pre-employment screening. This is standard practice in aged care, disability support, healthcare, and education sectors regardless of how long ago you lived in China.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Why can’t I just get the Chinese government certificate from Australia?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">The Chinese government No Criminal Record Certificate (\u65e0\u72af\u7f6a\u8bb0\u5f55\u8bc1\u660e) is issued by the local Public Security Bureau (PSB) or Notary Public Office at the city level in China. Applying from overseas typically requires a representative or proxy in China to submit documents in person, authenticate them through China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then post them to Australia \u2014 a process that can take weeks or months. The Worker Checks China check bypasses this entirely and is completed 100% online from Australia.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Is this check suitable for Australian visa or immigration applications?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">No. The Australian Department of Home Affairs only accepts police clearance certificates issued directly by official Chinese government authorities for immigration purposes. For Australian visa applications requiring a China police check, you need the official No Criminal Record Certificate from a Chinese PSB or Notary Public Office. The Worker Checks China check is for employment screening only.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">I was only a student in China \u2014 do I still need this check?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">If you studied in China for six months or more as an adult, yes \u2014 most Australian employers in regulated industries will require an international criminal history check covering that period. The requirement applies regardless of the reason for your stay.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Is this check suitable for AHPRA health practitioner registration?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">No. AHPRA requires international criminal history checks from its own approved suppliers \u2014 currently Fit2Work and AIS International. The Worker Checks China check is suitable for employment screening but not for AHPRA registration purposes.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Does my China police check expire?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">The certificate is a point-in-time check with no formal expiry date. However, your employer may require a check completed within a certain period \u2014 typically the last 12 months. Confirm recency requirements with your employer before applying.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">Can I share my certificate electronically with my employer?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">Yes. Your certificate is stored securely in your Worker Checks CheckHub portal. You can download it as a PDF or share it electronically with your employer directly from the portal \u2014 no posting physical copies or arranging authentication required.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"cta-strip\">\n <h2>Ready to Get Your China Police Check?<\/h2>\n <p>100% online from Australia.
