Overview

Why Background Check Australia?

Background checks in Australia cover a wide range of verification types depending on the role, industry, and employer requirements. Refchecks is a single platform that runs all major check types in-house:

  • Reference checks — Structured referee interviews with fraud detection
  • Police checks — ACIC national checks and AFP checks
  • Right-to-work / VEVO — Automated Home Affairs VEVO checks
  • WWCC / NDIS — Working with Children Checks across all 7 states
  • Medical & drug screening — Via Sonic HealthPlus portal, including instant drug screens
  • Mining & construction certifications — 9 certification types with document analysis
  • In-house health assessments — K10, DASS-21, ergonomic, colour vision, visual acuity
  • Sanctions & PEP screening — DFAT, UN, and OFAC database checks
  • Driving record — Candidate-uploaded licence check with AI analysis

All checks run in parallel and results consolidate into a single candidate pack — no juggling multiple providers or portals.

What's Included

Background Check Australia Features

All-in-One Platform

Every check type in a single workflow — initiate police checks, VEVO, WWCC, medical, and reference checks from one dashboard without switching between providers.

In-House Processing

Refchecks processes all checks in-house using direct integrations with authoritative sources — no third-party reseller mark-ups or handoffs.

Fraud Detection

Cross-check employment history against a global anonymous referee database. If dates or roles don't match, hiring managers are alerted before an offer is made.

Compliance Ready

All results are stored with timestamps and audit trails, meeting Fair Work, Home Affairs, and industry-specific compliance requirements.

Process

How It Works

1

Select check types needed

Choose from any combination of check types based on the role. Refchecks recommends a standard package or you can build a custom combination.

2

Refchecks runs all checks in parallel

All selected checks are initiated simultaneously — police checks, VEVO, WWCC, medical, and reference checks run concurrently rather than sequentially.

3

Receive consolidated report

Results from all check types are consolidated into a single candidate pack for the hiring manager — one document covering the full background screening outcome.
