As a Sidekick, you may be required to pass a Police Check or Criminal History check to work in particular roles or with certain businesses.
In Australia, a National Police Check is required to work in healthcare, government sectors, driving roles, and some warehousing and hospitality roles.
How do I get a National Police Check?
If you do not have a valid police check, you can lodge one through National Crime Check. Ensure you select the ‘Employment Check’ (Cost: $42.00) and follow the steps to complete the required information. Results usually take 1-2 business days to be processed.
Please note: Sidekicker does not reimburse the cost of police checks.
