A criminal record check can be a crucial step towards a robust employment screening program for many organisations. This is particularly the case where a role involves working with vulnerable populations or positions of trust and may include roles for employers within education, healthcare, financial services, and government organisations amongst others. After Right to Work checks, which are obligatory for all Australian employers, the criminal record check is the most commonly performed background check. There are different levels of criminal record checks and related services available to employers in the ANZ region.
