A national check, processed fast, secured properly

Convicted in Brisbane in 2018, now living in Melbourne and applying for a job? Your QLD conviction will still appear on your check, no matter which state you apply from. 适用定罪国的失效定罪规则 — not the state where you currently live.

Police Check QLD — FAQ
Who needs a Police Check QLD?
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 QLD, or does it cover other states too?
It’s national. A conviction recorded in any Australian state or territory — not just Queensland — 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. Most organisations won’t accept a certificate older than 3 months.
How long does a QLD police check take?
80% of checks are completed within 1–3 minutes. The remaining applications are flagged for manual review by police agencies, which can take longer.
