I found the service incredibly prompt, professional and easy to use. I was able to give my result the next day to the organisation who asked me to take this check. Not a problem.

This process is easy because the pages are step-by-step. However, if you don't have access to or aren't comfortable with technology, this could be a little trickier to follow.

User friendly

User friendly, Easy to follow instructions. Until I got to taking photos of documents, because of my disability taking a none blurry photo is difficult. The website couldn't handle it. I had to pay and start again, which i dont mind and I had to get a neighbour to take my photos of documents, which made things much easier and my results only took 2 days to get back to me.

Worst experience ever

I applied for this in August, paid the money and then I got a list of demands for further documentation. I have never had so many issues in the past, have asked for a refund as it has become ridiculous the hoops I am having to go through just to get my check. Have informed my employers as this is the preferred method.

Good Afternoon Michelle,

Thanks for your feedback.

There are strict federal government requirements that we must follow before a background check can be processed. These guidelines are in the interests of community safety.

If the information provided or the identity documents don’t meet these guidelines, we are obligated to obtain corrections before we can proceed.

You will have received an email outlining the items that are required to be corrected before your check can be processed.

If you do not wish to proceed, you can apply for a refund.

We wish you the best.

Kind regards,

ANCC Administration

Police check

The entire process was efficient and well-coordinated. Although some of my documents were initially not accepted, the follow-up was prompt, and I was able to obtain my police check required for my job. I collected the certificate the following day.

Brilliant!

It was a bit involved as I had previously had issues with proving my name due to a change of name by deed poll in a different state and Qld Police Check would not accept my documentation from NSW. Then I found ANCC. Everything was able to be done online and I had the Police Check by the next day. All very professional and very helpful throughout the whole process.
