What kinds of jobs require a recent police check?

A recent police check is often required when applying for employment (paid and unpaid) and appointment to positions of trust as it helps organisations make informed decisions about the suitability of applicants. It is relevant to a broad range of industries, including:
  • Community Services and Development
  • Education and Training
  • Healthcare and Medical
  • Legal
  • Volunteer and not-for-profit organisations
In Australia, SEEK Pass has verified millions of candidate credentials, with over 40% of job applications in Australia now featuring verified credentials, helping employers confidently shortlist and recruit candidates faster.

How does it work?

Step 1
VerifyProvide evidence of your credentials, which SEEK Pass then checks with the relevant authority or uses other suitable verification methods.
Step 2
ShareOnce your verified result is available, you can share it on SEEK to enhance your job applications.
Step 3
Stand outIf shared, employers using SEEK to manage applications will be able to see your verified credential for relevant past and future applications as a live feed.
SEEK Pass has a unique integration with Australia’s leading job site SEEK to help you stand out when applying for jobs. And thanks to SEEK, you can verify and share your credentials at no cost to you.Learn more
