你能不能把我的警方检查升级一下 - 已经太久了！

Understanding when — and why — a police check can be prioritised.

We understand that waiting for a police-check result can be frustrating, especially if you’re eager to start work. Many people in this situation also need a 全国协调犯罪记录检查 for employment or onboarding. However, Worker Checks and all other ACIC-accredited providers must follow national processing rules.

Why standard checks can’t be escalated #

Once your Worker Checks police check is submitted, it’s securely processed through the 澳大利亚刑事情报委员会（ACIC） and state and territory police agencies. After submission, no provider — including Worker Checks — can change the order, speed, or manual-review timing.

有 没有一般升级程序 for standard checks. All requests must meet ACIC’s definition of an 紧急优先事项.

What counts as an “Urgent Priority” #

一个 紧急优先事项 may only be applied where a delay in results could directly affect the 护理、安全或基本社区服务的提供. ACIC recognises four broad categories:

1. 专业技能 needed for an emergency or disaster response
2. 政治原因, including national security (Australian Government only)
3. 医疗原因, 急需专家
4. 与儿童有关的进程, such as adoption or emergency foster-care placement

These are understandably important, but 不符合 ACIC 的紧急优先阈值.

What Worker Checks can do #

If you believe your circumstances genuinely fit one of the urgent categories above, please contact [email protected] with evidence (e.g. an agency letter or emergency request). Worker Checks will review your situation and, if applicable, 正式提交紧急优先申请 至 ACIC。.

Otherwise, your check will continue through the standard processing queue. Worker Checks’ efficient processing returns 80% of Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks within 1–3 minutes, depending on review requirements.
