TAS employment screening

Criminal History Checks for Employment in Tasmania

Eligible applicants in Tasmania can complete a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) application online through AuthNTick. The service supports employment screening for TAS organisations and candidates without limiting the check to Tasmanian police information.

Getting ready to apply from Tasmania

Prepare clear identity documents and the information requested about your names and addresses before starting. Use a device that lets you complete the identity photo and document steps. If a document is missing or difficult to read, contact support to understand the options before submitting an incomplete application.

Moving to Tasmania for employment

An applicant relocating to Hobart, Launceston or another Tasmanian workplace should still provide the residential history requested in the application. A local job does not turn the check into a Tasmania-only search. Keep the future work location and your actual current address distinct when completing the form.

Supporting Tasmanian candidates through the process

TAS employers can track applications and see which candidates are still completing their checks. Give candidates clear instructions about the employment purpose and who to contact with questions. The platform brings invitations, status and authorised result review together for the team.

Complete Your Criminal History Check Online in Tasmania

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

  1. Start your application or open your employer’s invitation.
  2. Enter the purpose, names, personal details and residential address history requested.
  3. Complete the identity document and identity photo steps.
  4. Read the declaration and provide informed consent.
  5. Review your information and submit the application.
  6. 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 I complete a police check application online from regional Tasmania?

Eligible NCCHC applications can be completed online through AuthNTick. You need to complete the identity, information and consent steps; contact support if you cannot supply the required documents.

Can I complete a criminal history check online in Tasmania?

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 TAS 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.
