The Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorism Financing Rules (CTF) and Global Official List (Sanctions) checks assist in identifying the risks associated with individuals such as specific or general involvement with money laundering, terrorism financing, politically exposed persons (PEPs), or terrorists and wanted criminals.
FAQ's
Its important for your organisation to assess whether AML/CTF checks are relevant to your background screening needs. AML/CTF and Sanctions List checks may be required under AML/CTF legislation in Australia or New Zealand for organisations in the financial sector, gambling sector and bullion dealers – who are known as reporting entities. If you’re unsure, we’d suggest you refer to your internal policies and processes or seek independent legal advice.

There are no rules or regulations about how often a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check should be conducted. It’s useful to keep in mind that it’s a ‘point in time’ check only, so records are checked up until the date of issue, not after. If infringements occur later, you won’t know about them, which is why regular Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks will help mitigate risk to your business.
The fit2work online portal allows you to track and manage the status of all your Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks. You can search and auto-schedule future refresher checks.
No, not necessarily. There are some occupations, such as lawyers and financial brokers, where it’s a clear-cut decision that a Disclosable Court Outcome disqualifies them from the role. But for other professions, issues like discrimination and fairness must be considered.
The best guide to the assessment of Disclosable Court Outcomes is to be well prepared, know the laws that govern your operations and adopt a reasonable and common-sense approach to evaluation.

A Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check looks at all the state police records for any convictions under state laws. An AFP check looks at commonwealth police records for conviction under federal regulations. Refer to our Australian Federal Police check page for further details.
For immigration or visa purposes, you must supply an Australian Federal Police check. A Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check is acceptable for employment and most other uses.
fit2work began processing Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks in 2008 and today we are one of Australia’s leading providers of online screening services.
You can verify a check by going to https://www.fit2work.com.au/Public/ResultVerification and following the prompts.
AFP checks are Australian police checks conducted via the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
You will typically receive your AFP hard copy certificate in the post within 5 to 15 working days of your application. The Australian Federal Police sends the paper certificate through Australia Post.
AFP checks are usually required for Australian Federal Government purposes such as:
- if you’re seeking employment with the Commonwealth Government
- checks needed under Commonwealth legislation
- for Australian immigration requirements
- where an applicant is residing overseas
- overseas employment requirements
- overseas travel visa applications
- if you live or work in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Jervis Bay or external Commonwealth Territories.

Examples of identity documents that can be verified electronically via DVS include:
- driver’s license
- Medicare card
- passport
- visa/right to work
- birth certificate.
By entering an individual's details as they appear on their documents, the fit2work platform submits queries to the relevant agencies that issued the documents via the DVS Hub. The DVS will determine if the document details are still valid, not expired or cancelled, and will return an indicator to our online portal within seconds.

Xref is an automated cloud-based candidate referencing platform that provides an efficient alternative to the time-consuming process of chasing references on the phone.
Rather than an employer having to ring a candidate’s reference to check its validity, this tedious follow up work can now happen online. Employers use the platform to request the candidate sends details of their referees. The referees are then automatically contacted via email to provide their feedback to specific questions. This feedback can happen at a time of their choosing via a secure online portal. Responses are analysed and a detailed report generated for the employer.
It typically takes between 20 to 30 seconds for an employer to request a reference. Once the referee has responded, references are returned on average within 18 hours offering insights and competency analytics through a detailed report for the employer.
Many referees complete references out of business hours, so an online reference check gives them the flexibility to input their responses at a time that suits them. References with Xref can also be completed via a mobile device further increasing convenience for the candidate and referee.
It avoids the risk of recruiters asking discriminatory questions or recording details incorrectly. Moving the reference check from a conversational-based approach to a written question and answer approach boosts the accuracy, consistency and reliability of data. A more precise and secure data collection process adds layers of governance, security and compliance to the recruitment process, which significantly reduces the risk of reference fraud and bad hires.
Xref's suspicious activity feature flags if there is something suspicious about a candidate's referees. For example, the candidate and the referee have the same IP address, indicating that the referee might not be legitimate. Organisations can then choose if they would like to investigate this flagged activity further in order to make informed decisions about their next candidate.

Implemented on 1 July 2017, the Australian Bankers Association (ABA) Conduct Background Check Protocol is a protocol, that is used by banks when hiring to find out better information about a job applicant’s past employment history and conduct record. This is designed to create more consistency in hiring so individuals with poor conduct records can't move from one job to the next in the banking industry undetected.

It’s useful to keep in mind that it’s a ‘point in time’ check only, so records are checked up until the date of issue, not after. If infringements occur later, you won’t know about them, which is why regular police checks will help mitigate risk to your business.

When an international check has been 'referred for manual processing', it means that our international providers are administering the check. As these records are managed by the government or police of these overseas countries, fit2work cannot expedite these checks.
You can verify a check by going to https://www.fit2work.com.au/Public/ResultVerification and following the prompts.
Automated search against police records
The applicant’s personal details are checked against the National police check’s database using an automated name matching algorithm.
- If the personal details do not match any information recorded in the system, the police check result will be returned to you with a ‘No Match Found’ result.
- If the personal details closely match the police information recorded in the system, the application will be treated as a potential match and is referred to the relevant police agencies for further assessment. This will be displayed as ‘Manual Processing’ in the fit2work platform.
Once further assessment is completed,
- If the police confirm the applicant’s details do not match the police information, the application will be returned to you with a ‘No Match Found’ result.
- If the police determine the applicant’s details match the police information, the application will require further assessment. This will be displayed as ‘Manual Processing’ in the fit2work platform.
When an applicant’s details match the police information found in the database,
- Police will determine what information can be released in accordance with the coinciding state or territory spent convictions legislation and/or information release policies. Police also use the purpose of the police check to further support what information can be released.
- Once the police have finished processing the police check, you will receive the 'Match Found' result.
