A national check, processed fast, secured properly
A “Police Clearance WA” is the same Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check used Australia-wide — it draws from the same national database and is recognised by employers, regulators, and volunteer organisations in every state and territory, not just Western Australia.

Police Clearance WA — FAQ
Who needs a Police Clearance WA?
Anyone applying for employment, volunteer work, licensing, or other purposes requiring a criminal history check. Many employers require it as part of onboarding.
Is the check specific to WA, or does it cover other states too?
It’s national. The check covers all states and territories, not just Western Australia.
Can I get a check for someone else?
No. Informed consent from the individual is required to obtain a police clearance 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, we’re required to remove the result after that period — download and save your certificate within that window.
Do convictions automatically become spent in WA?
No — this is different from most other states. In Western Australia, you must actively apply for a spent conviction; it doesn’t happen automatically after a waiting period like it does elsewhere.
