Special Background Checks
Special background checks go beyond standard police checks and are often required for DVS, Working with Children, NDIC, AGSVA, Security clearances or licensing. We explain who needs them, what documents are required, and how to apply.
Some background checks fall under “Special Checks”, which are restricted and can only be performed by certain government-authorised bodies. These checks are essential for roles involving vulnerable individuals, national security, or Commonwealth-specific compliance.
Working With Children Checks (WWCC)
Important: AuthNTick does not provide Working With Children Checks (WWCC).
WWCCs can only be conducted by authorised Working With Children Screening Units
If you are applying for a role that requires a WWCC, please contact your local Screening Unit or police agency directly. AuthNTick can support organisations in verifying WWCCs that candidates have already obtained.
NDIS Worker Screening Checks
Important: We do not offer National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Worker Screening Checks.
These checks are only available through authorised NDIS Screening Units. If you’re applying for an NDIS-related role, you must obtain the correct check through the designated Screening Unit. We can assist any organisation in the verification of such checks
Please note: While we offer National Police Checks (NPCs), they do not meet the official screening requirements for NDIS clearance. AuthNTick can support organisations in verifying candidates have already obtained such checks.
