National Police Check – Urgent Priority
When submitting a check, you must select a priority, either normal or urgent. You can call AuthNTick on 1300 288 468 and at a cost of $10.00 we can get your result in 4 hours.
An urgent priority can only be applied to checks where a delay in results may have a direct impact on the care, safety or provision of essential services within the community.

This includes when:
- medical specialists are required for locum work in a remote area
- emergency foster carers are needed
- volunteers are needed to provide bushfire relief
- support is needed for an upcoming election.
When selecting the urgent priority, you need to complete the Urgent Priority Reason field. Here you must provide a clear reason why a timely return of results is required and what the implication would be if results were not returned quickly.
Many types of reasons are not considered to be urgent priorities. Examples are when an applicant:
- is offered employment and is due to start tomorrow
- has an expired police clearance
- cannot work until their police check is returned
- wants to adopt a child
- has a professional registration pending a police check.
The police may downgrade police checks marked urgent if you use inappropriate reasons.
Do not change the priority of a police check from a normal priority to an urgent priority just because the check is taking more than 10 business days to process.
You must provide a clear reason why an urgent check is required and what the implication would be if results were not returned quickly. To ensure priority processing for legitimate urgent checks, ACIC will monitor the use of the urgent priority selection and may impose rectification activities or reduce an agency’s access to the Service if they use the option inappropriately.
Normal Priority
Most checks will be submitted using the normal priority. Police aim to process these checks within 10 business days. Do not change the priority of a check from a normal priority to an urgent priority just because the check is taking more than 10 business days to process.
Note: You must wait 10 business days until you initiate a check follow-up for normal priority checks and 5 business days for urgent priority checks. We will not progress any check follow-up requests received earlier than the stipulated timeframe.
