This is standard practice in aged care, disability support, healthcare, and other regulated sectors.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <div class=\"faq-q\">What is the difference between the Sri Lanka government PCC and this check?<\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-a\">The Sri Lanka government PCC is issued by Sri Lanka Police and is required for Australian visa and immigration applications. It requires applying through the Sri Lankan High Commission in Canberra or the Sri Lanka Police online portal, with the certificate sent by post.

Always confirm with your employer which format they require before applying.<\/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 government authorities.
