Overview

Why Sri Lankan Workers in Australia Need This Check

If you have lived in Sri Lanka 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 in Australia or have been here for many years.

This check — also known as an overseas police clearance or ICHC — is for Australian employment screening. It is separate from the Sri Lanka government PCC required for visa and immigration applications, and is completed entirely online through Worker Checks without visiting the Sri Lankan High Commission.

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

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 the Sri Lanka government PCC through the Sri Lankan High Commission instead — this check isn’t accepted for that.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Sri Lanka police check even if I have lived in Australia for many years?
Yes. If you lived in Sri Lanka for six or more consecutive months at any point as an adult, employers in regulated Australian industries may still require a Sri Lanka international criminal history check. This is standard practice in aged care, disability support, healthcare, and other regulated sectors.
What is the difference between the Sri Lanka government PCC and this check?
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. The Worker Checks Sri Lanka check is used for Australian employment screening — completed 100% online in 10 to 15 working days with no High Commission visit required.
Can I use the Sri Lanka government PCC for employer screening in Australia?
Some employers accept the Sri Lanka government PCC for employment screening, but many specifically require an international criminal history check from an Australian ACIC-accredited provider. Always confirm with your employer which format they require before applying.
Is this check suitable for Australian visa or immigration applications?
No. The Australian Department of Home Affairs only accepts police clearance certificates issued directly by official government authorities. For Australian visa applications requiring a Sri Lanka police check, apply through the Sri Lankan High Commission in Canberra (slhcaust.org) or the Sri Lanka Police online portal. The Worker Checks check is for employment screening only.
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 Sri Lanka check is suitable for employment screening but not for AHPRA registration purposes — check AHPRA’s website for its current approved suppliers.
Does my Sri Lanka 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 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 posting physical copies required.
