Criminal History Check QLD

PRIVATE DETECTIVES SYDNEY’S TIPS: CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK QLD

The Criminal History Check QLD Detectives Perform. Under Australian human rights law, only the Australian Police and accredited agencies may do a criminal history check and release the results. Their procedure involves processing a person’s biographic details in a central index. An embedded algorithm then checks whether there is a match with police records, and whether they may legally disclose the information. For example, data concerning minor and pardoned offences is ring fenced.

Circumstances Where Police May Do a Criminal History Check QLD

The police may only do a criminal check under the following circumstances:

• Where an employer is recruiting to fill a position
• Where an individual applies for registration / licensing
• Where a volunteer is applying for a not-for-profit position
• Where someone wants to work with vulnerable people
• During an application to adopt a minor child
• For Australian visa and citizenship applications
• Where legislation requires a criminal history check

Where Does This Leave an Australian Business?

This leaves them high and dry as far as police services are concerned. The police may only otherwise investigate a person where they have grounds to suspect a crime, or an intention to commit a crime. Moreover, they already have a heavy burden of work that may take precedence.

How Our Private Investigators Help Close this Information Gap

We believe intention to commit a crime is a more pressing matter than a criminal history check for past offences. An Australian Institute of Criminology report analysed serious fraud offenders and assembled the following profile:

• Aged in their mid-40s and male
• Born in either Australia or New Zealand
• Educated to secondary level, with some having professional qualifications
• Company directors / accounting duties / stable employment
• No prior criminal record
• Acting alone in the commission of the offence
• Motivated by greed or gambling

There is no guarantee an Australian Police criminal history check would have identified these criminals prior to the commission of a first offence. However, there is a fair chance an AusCovert Investigations, a private investigation company might, because they would have performed a more comprehensive background check.
