Overview

Why Nepali Workers in Australia Need This Check

If you have lived in Nepal 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 whether you are newly arrived or have been in Australia for many years.

This check — also known as an overseas police clearance or ICHC — is for Australian employment screening. It is different from the Nepal government PCC required for visa and immigration applications, and is completed entirely online through Worker Checks without visiting an embassy or consulate.

Regulated industries that commonly require this check:
Aged Care Disability / NDIS Healthcare & Nursing Childcare Teaching Construction Community Services Security
