Who Needs a China Police Check from Australia?

If you have lived in China for six months or more as an adult, Australian employers in regulated industries will typically require an international criminal history check as part of their pre-employment screening. 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.

This check — also known as an overseas police clearance or ICHC — is for Australian employment screening. It is separate from the Chinese government No Criminal Record Certificate (无犯罪记录证明) required for visa and immigration applications, and is completed entirely online through Worker Checks from Australia without needing anyone in China.

Regulated industries that commonly require this check:
वृद्ध देखभाल Disability / NDIS Healthcare & Nursing Education & Teaching बच्चों की देखभाल करने IT & Engineering Finance & Banking Community Services

For employment screening, not visas. If your employer asked for a police check for a job, this is the right one. If you need it for an Australian visa or immigration application, that requires the official Chinese No Criminal Record Certificate (无犯罪记录证明) from a PSB or Notary Public Office — this check isn’t accepted for that.

FAQ

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्नों

I lived in China years ago — do I still need a China police check for Australian employment?
Yes. 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.
Why can’t I just get the Chinese government certificate from Australia?
The Chinese government No Criminal Record Certificate (无犯罪记录证明) 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 — a process that can take weeks or months. The Worker Checks China check bypasses this entirely and is completed 100% online from Australia.
Is this check suitable for Australian visa or immigration applications?
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.
I was only a student in China — do I still need this check?
If you studied in China for six months or more as an adult, yes — 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.
Is this check suitable for AHPRA health practitioner registration?
No. AHPRA requires international criminal history checks from its own panel of approved suppliers. The Worker Checks China check is suitable for employment screening but not for AHPRA registration purposes — check AHPRA’s website for its current approved suppliers.
Does my China police check expire?
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 — typically the last 12 months. Confirm recency requirements with your employer before applying.
Can I share my certificate electronically with my employer?
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 — no posting physical copies or arranging authentication required.
