Please note that neither you or Precise Background Services can predict if your check will be delayed and as such, we suggest you place your order at least 10 business days before you require your result.

Your Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check is valid as at the date the report is issued. It is the discretion of the organisation with whom you are applying for employment as to how long after the report date they will accept the NCCHC.

If you believe the result of your NCCHC is incorrect, you may dispute it via the online portal within 72 hours of its release. Please provide detailed reasons for the dispute. We will contact ACIC to have the result investigated by the relevant police agency and notify you once an outcome is determined.

The ACIC has confirmed that the targeted timeframe for returning a check result is still 15 business days (maximum) and have highlighted they are currently focused on completing the outstanding checks. To retrieve your records, the police computer system tries to find any records in the police database that belong to you. Sometimes the computer is unable to make all of the decisions automatically. In this case, the system refers your check for manual (human) review, by the police NOT Precise Background Services. The computer uses your name, sex and date of birth to try to identify which records (if any) belong to you. Sometimes your details might be similar to someone else in the database who does have records. If any records are found that could belong to you (or someone whose details are similar to yours), the system might not be able to automatically assign these records. To make sure this is done correctly, police will manually vet these records to make sure you get the right result. We understand that this is frustrating, especially if you need your check urgently.
