joeh99 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hi All, Having recieved my 189 Visa grant on Monday, I am in the process of registering as a teacher with TRBWA. You are required to submit a UK police check with the application. This can be obtained through fit2work, an external body appointed by the WA government to carry out international checks. I would like to know if anyone has gained their registeration by simply submitting their UK police check which would have been obtained as part of the visa process? It seems it is not compulsory to use this fit2work (as per below text taken from the TRBWA website); however, I am unsure whether the police check done for immigration purposes is suffice. Any advice welcome! Thankyou. Overseas criminal record checks obtained directly from the country If you have already obtained or commenced the process of obtaining an OCRC directly from the relevant authority in the country you resided in, it will be accepted by the TRBWA provided that it: is received by 30 November 2017 is the correct check/document, issued by the correct agency/authority in the relevant country (see the Department of Immigration and Border Protection website for information) was issued within the last 12 months includes all the names by which you have been known in that country covers the entire time you resided in that country from the age of 18 is accompanied by an English translation, completed by an authorised translator (if the OCRC is in a language other than English) is properly certified by an authorised witness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahL Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Sorry can't help with answering your question but would like to know what type of registration you are applying for as I was very confused when I looked?! Also hoping to head to WA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeh99 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hi Sarah, It's the non-practising registration that we need. It seems very confusing and expensive, just like the AITSL skills assessment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahL Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Thanks @joeh99 will follow this post with interest. We're not looking to move out for another year though so it may all change by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeacherClem Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm sorry I don't have the answer but we had planned to use our visa police checks. We're applying for Queensland but guessing it's a similar process. Hope someone has the answer for you Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
