What is the cost of a National Police Check?
Formally known as a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check, a National Police Check costs $49.90 including GST.
How long does a National Police Check take?
The majority of National Police Checks are processed and the results returned within 1 business day.
However, approximately 30% of all National Police Checks ordered within Australia are referred for manual processing. If this occurs, the result may take from 1 – 15, and in some instances more, business days to be returned.
Processing of National Police Checks may take longer if the applicant shares similar details with other individuals recorded in police databases, particularly if they have a common name. It is therefore always recommended that applicants order their National Police Check at least 2 weeks before the certificate is required.

* All turnaround times are estimated working times for Australian checks and are provided as a guide only. Turnaround times are based on our experience of the time taken for the majority of these checks to be delivered. However, CVCheck is reliant on third parties for supply of information, and in some cases those third parties may take longer to supply that information. Accordingly, CVCheck does not give any time guarantees for any checks or packages. It is CVCheck’s policy and practice to keep you informed as much as possible if there are any unusual delays.
