What you get

A national check, processed fast, secured properly

NT-specific note: under the Criminal Records (Spent Convictions) Act 1992 (NT), a conviction cannot become spent if it resulted in a prison sentence of more than 6 months — it will remain on your certificate regardless of how much time has passed.

Common questions

Police Check NT — FAQ

Who needs a Police Check NT?

Individuals applying for jobs, volunteering, licensing, or visas. Employers running checks on staff, contractors, or volunteers. Educational institutions and licensing bodies also commonly request one.

Is the check specific to NT, or does it cover other states too?

It’s national. A conviction recorded anywhere in Australia, not just the Northern Territory, will appear on your check, since it draws from a single national database.

Can I get a check for someone else?

No. Informed consent from the individual is required to obtain a police check on their behalf.

How long is my certificate available after I receive it?

Your result is available in your Worker Checks portal for 3 months. Under Commonwealth law, the result is then removed — download and save your certificate within that window.

Do spent convictions show up on an NT police check?

It depends on the sentence. Under NT legislation, a conviction can never become spent if it resulted in a prison sentence over 6 months — it will always appear, regardless of how long ago it occurred.
