Overview

Why Filipino Workers in Australia Need This Check

If you have lived in the Philippines 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 years.

This check — also known as an overseas police clearance or ICHC — is separate from the NBI Clearance used for visa applications. It is completed entirely online through Worker Checks’ ACIC-accredited platform without visiting a consulate.

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

I contacted Worker Checks for an international police check and the process was straightforward from start to finish. Would use them again.

Results are delivered securely to your Worker Checks CheckHub portal. Share electronically with your employer or download as a PDF — no emailing physical copies required.

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 an NBI Clearance through the Philippine consulate instead — this check isn’t accepted for that.

Timing

Processing Time

Most Philippines police checks are completed within 10 to 15 working days from submission. Processing times depend on Philippine government agencies and can occasionally vary.

You will receive an SMS and email as soon as your result is available. Your certificate is accessible immediately in your CheckHub portal.

Planning ahead: If you have an employment start date, apply at least 3–4 weeks in advance to allow for any processing variations.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Philippines police check even if I have lived in Australia for many years?
Yes. If you lived in the Philippines for six or more consecutive months at any point as an adult, employers in regulated Australian industries may still require a Philippines international criminal history check. This is standard practice in aged care, disability support, and healthcare.
Can I use my NBI Clearance for Australian employment?
Some employers accept an NBI Clearance for employment screening, but many specifically require an international police check from an Australian ACIC-accredited provider. Confirm with your employer which format they require before applying. If they accept either, a Worker Checks Philippines check is typically faster as no consulate visit is required.
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 Philippines check is suitable for employment screening but not for AHPRA registration purposes — check AHPRA’s website for its current approved suppliers.
Does my Philippines 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 recent 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 emailing physical copies required.
What if I need a police check for an Australian visa application?
For Australian visa applications, you need an NBI Clearance obtained through a Philippine consulate or embassy in Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, or Perth). The Worker Checks international check is not suitable for visa or immigration purposes.
