QLD employment screening
Criminal History Checks for Employment in Queensland
An employment criminal history check in Queensland can start online. AuthNTick supports eligible Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) applications for candidates and organisations in QLD, with identity verification and consent included in the workflow.
Queensland jobs with more than one work location
For a role covering Brisbane and regional Queensland, ask the employer how to describe the proposed workplace before starting. A project site, head office and home address can be different places. Use the role and work-location information requested in the application rather than choosing a location simply because it is the nearest city.
Preparing a QLD criminal history check application
Have your previous names and residential address history ready, especially if you have moved between work locations. An online police check search for Queensland does not mean you should leave out periods lived interstate. Review dates and spelling before submission and contact support if the details need clarification.
Coordinating Queensland candidate screening
Employers hiring for several QLD locations can manage multiple candidates and track each application’s progress. Tell each candidate which job the request relates to, and allow time for identity questions or further police review before planning a start date.

The application follows the same NCCHC workflow across Australia. AuthNTick is not a government department or a state or territory police agency.
How the Online Application Works
- Start your application or open your employer’s invitation.
- Enter the purpose, names, personal details and residential address history requested.
- Complete the identity document and identity photo steps.
- Read the declaration and provide informed consent.
- Review your information and submit the application.
- Track progress through your account and review the result when available to you.
Processing times vary and further review can be needed. For identity requirements, result terminology and timing, read our Australia-wide employment NCCHC guide.
NCCHC vs AFP Police Check
These are different products. The required check depends on its purpose and the instructions of the organisation requesting it. Confirm those instructions before choosing a workflow.
Read about the AFP Police Check if your request specifies that product.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Queensland check be guaranteed before my first shift?
No processing deadline can be guaranteed. Submit complete information as early as possible and discuss the start date with your employer if the check is still in progress.
Can I complete a criminal history check online in Queensland?
Eligible applicants can complete an NCCHC application online through AuthNTick. Start an application or follow your employer’s invitation, then complete the required information, identity verification and consent.
Is a criminal history check for QLD employment Australia-wide?
An NCCHC is nationally coordinated rather than restricted to the state or territory of your job. The information released depends on the check purpose and applicable information-release rules.
What should I do if the employer requests a National Police Certificate?
Confirm the exact product and issuing agency required before applying. AuthNTick’s employment product is a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check; do not assume a request for a named police certificate means the same thing.
