School Councils and Boards
All parent and community members of a school council/board are required to have a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) through the Department’s Screening Unit and be cleared before their position on the council/board can be confirmed. No other police clearance checks can be accepted.
National Coordinated Criminal History Screening Check
Criminal history screening involves a person providing their consent for the Department’s Screening Unit to undertake a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check through the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC). The person must provide their personal details (name, date and place of birth, and places of residence) and 4 items of identification. This information is sent securely to the ACIC and a result is returned to the Screening Unit usually within a week, however, it can take up to 3-4 weeks in some instances.
