Definition
A National Police Check is the criminal history verification issued by Australian police agencies. For cleaning staff working in schools, healthcare, NDIS, government and tenanted residential, current police clearance is typically a contract precondition.
Why it matters for procurement
If you operate sensitive sites and your cleaning vendor uses unchecked staff, you've imported reputational and legal risk that no SLA can erase.
How White Gold Collective applies it
All staff hold current National Police Checks renewed every 3 years. Checks are uploaded to each site's evidence folder; expired checks block roster eligibility automatically.
