If you lived in the UK for six or more consecutive months at any point as an adult, employers in regulated Australian industries may still require a UK international criminal history check. This is standard practice in aged care, disability support, healthcare, and education sectors regardless of how long ago you lived in the UK.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-q\">What is the difference between an ACRO Police Certificate and this check?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-a\">An ACRO Police Certificate is issued by the UK&#8217;s ACRO Criminal Records Office and is generally used for visa and immigration purposes. It requires a separate application to ACRO and can take several weeks.

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. For Australian visa applications requiring a UK police check, you generally need an ACRO Police Certificate issued directly by the UK&#8217;s ACRO Criminal Records Office. The Worker Checks UK check is for employment screening only.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-q\">Does my UK 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.
