National VS State Police Check


Emma Hadley

Recommended Posts

Hello, 

I've recently obtained my police check for Australia and when I googled it, the link that came up was for police checks for my state (WA) so that's what I clicked on and ordered. Now I'm starting to think I should have ordered a national federal one... This is probably a stupid question but will the WA one just check police records in the state or is just conducted by them for the whole country? So what I'm asking is, will I need to get a national one as well? It might seem like an obvious question but I just want to be sure before I shell out more money to get it done again. 

Thanks, 

Emma
