Traffic & Driving History Check
Thorough screening and background checking services by a committed partner.
Fast, Accurate, and Reliable Background Checks for Confident Hiring
When your employees drive for work—whether it’s delivering goods, visiting clients, or operating company vehicles—their driving record becomes your business risk. You need to know if the person you’re putting behind the wheel has a history of dangerous driving, licence suspensions, or serious traffic violations. Any of these can expose your organisation to liability issues, insurance complications, and potential legal action.
Traditional hiring processes often miss these critical details, leaving you vulnerable to risks that could have been identified and managed from the start. Many employers discover driving problems only after an incident occurs, when it’s too late to prevent damage to their reputation or bottom line.
What’s included in the licence and traffic checks?
Our comprehensive licence and traffic checks provide a complete picture of a candidate’s driving history and current licence status. The checks reveal patterns of behaviour that might indicate ongoing risk, such as repeated speeding violations, driving under the influence, or serious traffic offences that suggest poor judgment behind the wheel.
The checks cover current licence status and validity, any restrictions or conditions, as well as traffic violations and infringement history, licence suspensions or cancellations, and outstanding fines or penalties.
For roles requiring specific vehicle types, we confirm that the candidate holds the appropriate licence class, whether that’s a standard car licence, heavy vehicle licence, or specialist endorsements.
We source this information directly from state and territory transport authorities, ensuring you receive accurate and up-to-date records.
How long do licence and traffic checks take?
Most licence and traffic checks are completed within 2-5 business days, though timeframes can vary depending on which state or territory issued the licence.
We recommend ordering licence checks early in your recruitment process, especially for roles where driving is a core requirement.
How do we ensure full regulatory compliance?
We operate as an accredited body under the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) and adhere strictly to the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Standard AS 4811:2022 Workforce screening, providing a consistent, ethical, and risk-based approach to safeguarding organisations and candidates alike.
Candidates must also provide informed consent before we conduct any background check, and we only collect, store and share information in accordance with legal requirements. Our processes are designed to protect both employers and applicants, ensuring fair, lawful hiring practices while meeting your organisation’s regulatory obligations. This means you can conduct thorough screenings without the risk of breaching privacy or employment law.
Industries we specialise in
