1. Acceptance of Ts&Cs

InterCheck Global Pty Ltd ABN 51 151 778 237 trading as InterCheck Australia (InterCheck or we, us, our) provides services to assist individuals to obtain background checks about themselves for the purposes of employment, volunteering or other positions of trust (our Services).

As a user of our Services, you agree that the following terms and conditions (Ts&Cs) will govern our provision of the Services to you. These Ts&Cs form part of, and are deemed to be incorporated into, our application and consent form for requesting background checks. By completing and submitting an application and consent form and/or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Ts&Cs.

We reserve the right to amend these Ts&Cs from time to time by posting the updated Ts&Cs on our website. The amendments will be effective for all new Services requested after the date of publication.

2. How our Services work

Our Services allow you to submit a request for a background check about yourself (a Check).

The types of Checks that you can request are described on our website (www.intercheck.com.au) and may change from time to time. We may vary, limit, restrict, temporarily suspend or discontinue the types of Checks available on our website (or any other aspect of the Services) at any time without notice or liability to you.

Where we accept your request for a Check, we conduct the Check through third party information providers who are authorised to access the information necessary to run your Check. These information providers may vary depending on the type of Check that you request. They may include, for example, government bodies such as the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

By requesting a Check, you are appointing us as your agent for the purposes of providing to, and obtaining from, any third party any information that is necessary in order to conduct the Check you have requested and provide you with the Services.

Once we receive the results of your Check from the relevant third party information provider(s):

  1. we will prepare a report for you that sets out the results of your Check in certificate form (your InterCheck Certificate);
  2. we will provide you with access to your Check results through our secure web portal (which can be accessed using the links from our website, www.intercheck.com.au); and
  3. you may, at your sole option and discretion, elect to share your InterCheck Certificate with a third party (see clause 4.2 for further details).

If a third party (for example, the prospective employer that you have applied to) is paying for your Check, please see clause 4.4.

3. Requirements for using our Services

3.1 Requesting a Check

You can submit a request for a Check using the online application and consent form on our website, or by using our hardcopy application and consent form if you have been provided with a hardcopy.

To request a Check you must:

  1. fully complete and sign our application and consent form (either online or in hard copy), and submit it to us;
  2. provide us with proof of your identity as explained in the application and consent form (and otherwise as stated on our website), which we will use to verify your identity; and
  3. arrange payment for your Check request (see clause 5).

Please note that your request for a Check is an invitation to treat, and we may accept or reject any Check request at our sole discretion. If we accept your Check request, we will proceed with undertaking the Check. If we reject your request we will notify you and refund the amount you have paid for the Check. Please see our Refund Policy ( https://www.intercheck.com.au/refund-policy/ ) for details of when we provide refunds.

Once you have submitted your Check request you must also provide us with any additional information that we reasonably request in order to successfully process the Check you have requested. If you fail to provide us with any of this additional information, this may result in us cancelling your Check request in accordance with our Refund Policy (see clause 5.3 for further details).

When you apply for certain types of Checks there may be additional requirements and terms and conditions.

If you are applying for an National Coordinated Criminal History Check, clause 3.4 below applies to you.

If you are applying for an Australian Right to Work Check, clause 3.5 below applies to you.

3.2 Applicants who are minors (under 18)

If you are less than 18 years of age, your Check request must be completed by your parent or legal guardian.

3.3 Checks in countries other than Australia

If you have requested Checks in other countries outside Australia, we will make reasonable and practicable efforts to obtain those Checks. However, we provide no guarantee that we will be able to obtain Checks outside of Australia.

3.4 National Coordinated Criminal History Checks

A nationally coordinated criminal history check (NCCHC) is a background check, conducted with your informed consent, to determine your suitability for employment, a position of trust or as required by legislation.

The NCCHC results will contain your personal information, and any relevant police history information about you, according to the purpose of your nationally coordinated criminal history check. Your NCCHC will be conducted by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) working with other Australian police agencies.

We cannot release any police history information to you without first receiving the required informed consent and the necessary proof of identity (as stipulated on our website and on the minimum proof of identity requirements checklist).

By submitting a request for an NCCHC, you:

  1. acknowledge that you have read and understood these Ts&Cs;
  2. consent to us:
    1. collecting the personal information in your application and consent form (and in any supplied identity documents and any other information you share with us) in order to conduct a NCCHC on you for the purpose stated in your application and consent form;
    2. providing your personal information to the ACIC and other Australian police agencies (our third party information providers) so that they can conduct the NCCHC; and
    3. receiving the results of your NCCHC back from ACIC;
  3. acknowledge that you have read and understood clause 7 and our Privacy Policy, which explains how (and with whom) we may share your personal information (including the results of your NCCHC);
  4. warrant that:
    1. you have fully and accurately completed the application and consent form; and
    2. the personal information provided relates to the applicant and contains the full name and all names previously used by the applicant;
  5. acknowledge that withholding and/or providing misleading or false information on this form and in any supplied identity documents is a Commonwealth offence and may lead to prosecution under the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth);
  6. consent to a NCCHC being undertaken on all names under which you are or have been known, as provided by you on the application and consent form you submit to us;
  7. acknowledge and agree that:
    1. the NCCHC will be conducted for the purpose stated in the application and consent form you submit to us (which is determined by you), and that the Check results provided by ACIC and the Australian police agencies will be specific to that purpose; and
    2. it is your sole responsibility to check your application and consent form carefully to ensure that it correctly states the purpose for which the NCCHC will be conducted;
  8. understand that you have rights to dispute the results of your NCCHC (see clause 4.3), and must contact InterCheck in the first instance in relation to any such dispute;
  9. acknowledge and understand that as part of conducting the NCCHC:
    1. Australian police agencies will disclose to ACIC, from their records, details of convictions and outstanding charges, including findings of guilt or the acceptance of a plea of guilty by a court; and
    2. the NCCHC will be conducted in accordance with any applicable exclusions under Spent Convictions legislation, and it is your responsibility to consider whether any such exclusions apply to the position / entitlement for which you are applying; and
  10. acknowledge and understand that the ACIC and Australian police agencies may use the information and identity documents you provide:
    1. to provide us with police history information relating to you (including your NCCHC results);
    2. to update records held about you; and
    3. for general law enforcement purposes by ACIC and the other Australian police agencies, including the purposes set out in the Australian Crime Commission Act 2002 (Cth).

If you are a parent or legal guardian completing the Check request for an applicant who is less than 18 years of age, you provide these acknowledgements and consents in relation to the applicant. Other references to “you” will also be deemed to refer to the applicant, as necessary from the context.

Please note that we are not generally able to expedite the NCCHC process with ACIC. If you provide sufficient evidence of urgent military or medical purposes, we will use reasonable efforts to expedite the process with ACIC.

The NCCHC results may contain Disclosable Court Outcomes, which includes information about the applicant’s:

  • charges;
  • court convictions;
  • findings of guilt with no conviction;
  • court appearances;
  • good behaviour bonds or other court orders;
  • pending matters awaiting court hearing; or
  • traffic offence history.

If this occurs, you will be notified through the NCCHC results and we will provide you with a reasonable opportunity to respond to (or validate the information) in the NCCHC results. If you identify errors or omissions in the NCCHC results, we offer a process for you to dispute the results (see clause 4.3 for further details).

3.5 Australian Right to Work Checks

An Australian Right to Work Check is a background check, conducted with the applicant’s informed consent, to verify that you have a right to work in Australia by either confirming the applicant is an Australian Citizen or conducting a visa check on non-Australian citizens via the “Visa Entitlement Verification Online” service, which confirms the applicant’s visa status directly with the Department of Home Affairs.

By submitting a request for an Australian Right to Work Check, you:

  1. consent to us:
    1. conducting a search using the Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s (DIBP) Visa Verification Online (VEVO) Service database to confirm your entitlements to work in Australia; and
    2. if necessary, conducting subsequent reviews of your work entitlements using VEVO for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of your application and consent;
  2. understand that the purpose for the Right To Work Check is to confirm your entitlement to work in Australia for employment and/or volunteering purposes, and that the information we may obtain through a Right to Work Check may include: your visa grant date and expiry date (if applicable), your visa class / subclass and your work entitlements (including the duration and any conditions);
  3. acknowledge that it is a serious offence to provide false or misleading information in your application and consent form for a Right to Work Check, as we will be providing this information to DIBP on your behalf;
  4. acknowledge that your application and consent must:
    1. provide information that relates to you;
    2. set out your full name, date of birth, valid passport details and current Visa Grant number/details; and
    3. if you state that you are an Australian citizen, provide evidence of your Australian citizenship status;
  5. acknowledge that we are not responsible for any processing delays that occur if we are unable to verify your entitlements to work because you have provided incorrect or insufficient information; and
  6. acknowledge and understand that if you are not entitled to be in Australia, the Commonwealth Government may use the information you have provided for your Right to Work Check for the purposes of locating you.

If you a parent or legal guardian completing the Check request for an applicant who is less than 18 years of age, you provide these acknowledgements and consents in relation to the applicant.

3.6 Delivery timeframes

While we work closely with our third party information providers to ensure that Checks are conducted as promptly as reasonably possible, we cannot guarantee:

  1. the delivery of Checks within a particular timeframe (or at all); or
  2. the accuracy of the information supplied by our third party information providers.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible if the relevant third party information providers refuses or fails to provide us with your Check results, if there is a delay in their provision of your Check results or if the information supplied by our third party information providers is incomplete, inaccurate or out of date.

4. Your Check results

4.1 Receiving your Check results

Once we receive the results of your Check from the relevant third party information provider(s), we will provide you with access to your Check results via our web portal. Your access and use of our web portal is subject to the terms in clause 6.

Please note that, in accordance with the requirements of our third party information providers, we are required to delete Check results after certain prescribed time periods. For example, we are only able to hold NCCHC results for 12 months after we receive the results.

4.2 Sharing your Check results

Once you receive access to your Check results and your InterCheck Certificate you may use your Check results and the InterCheck Certificate for the permitted purpose that was specified in the application and consent form that you submitted for that Check.

If you elect, at your sole option and discretion, to share the InterCheck Certificate with a third party (for example, to the prospective employer that you have applied to for a position), you may utilise the functionality within our website to share your InterCheck Certificate with that third party. If that third party has paid for your Check, please see clause 4.4 below.

You are responsible for how you choose to use and share your Check results and your InterCheck Certificate, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for any decision you make to share (or not share) your Check results or InterCheck Certificate with any third party. We advise you to take appropriate steps to secure any copies of your Check results or your InterCheck Certificate that you make, and we are not responsible for any accidental access that you provide to a third party or for any unauthorised access that occurs due to your acts or omissions.

You agree that you will not provide your InterCheck Certificate to any competitor of InterCheck, except in circumstances where you are providing the InterCheck Certificate to allow that business to conduct necessary background checks on you as part of a good faith application for employment or a volunteer position (as applicable) with that business.

4.3 Disputing your Check results

You have a right to dispute the result of your NCCHC results if you claim that:

  1. the police history information released does not belong to you;
  2. part of the police history information does not belong to the you;
  3. the police history information belongs to you , but the details are inaccurate; or
  4. the police history information belongs to you, but should not have been released.

Any complaints or disputes about your NCCHC results must be sent to us in the first instance. If we are unable to resolve the complaint or dispute we may escalate the matter to the ACIC.

Information about how to exercise your right to dispute your Check results is available on our website here: https://www.intercheck.com.au/dispute-results/

4.4 Where a third party has paid for your Check

In some circumstances, a third party (such as an organisation that you are applying for a role with) may agree to pay for your Check. If this occurs, you will not need to pay for the Check. It is your responsibility to share the result with that third party in accordance with clause 4.2. If the third party fails to pay for the Check, you will become liable to pay for the Check.

5. Fees and payment

5.1 Fees

The prices for the different types of Checks we offer are as set out on our website.

All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are inclusive of GST.

The information, including pricing, displayed on our website may include inadvertent and occasional errors due to typographical mistakes, miscommunications and/or technical glitches. We reserve the right to cancel Check requests, and refund your payment, due to such errors or if the Checks requested are no longer available. We will notify you as soon as possible, if we cancel your Check request.

5.2 Payment terms

We require up-front payment for all Services, and will not action a Check request until we receive confirmation that payment has been received.

You can pay by credit card or other payment method approved by InterCheck, as set out on our website.

Your payment will be subject to the terms and conditions of payment specified by the payment provider you choose. This may include an additional fee, which is usually calculated as a percentage of your total transaction cost. You will be advised of any such fees that we charge, in relation to the use of your payment platform, at the time we take payment.

We allow you to make prepayments, which will be credited to your account and can be used to purchase Services. If you are using prepaid credit to purchase a Service, the Service fees will be charged against your prepaid credit as soon as your Check request is submitted to our systems. If you do not have sufficient prepaid credit to pay the relevant Service fee, we may decline to accept your Check request until you have paid the shortfall.

Once you make the up-front payment for your Check, you have up to 12 months (from the initial date of payment) to complete and submit your application and consent form (including by providing us with the necessary information and documents for us to conduct the Check).

If your application and consent form remains uncompleted (including if you fail to provide us with the necessary information and documents) after 12 months, we are required to delete the details of your application from our records. If this happens, we will convert the amount that you have paid into a credit that you may use to start a new Check request – however, we will not refund this amount to you. To avoid this, we recommend that you complete and submit your application and consent form promptly after making payment. We may (but are under no obligation to) provide you with e-mail reminders to complete your application and consent form before the 12 month period expires.

In some circumstances, a third party (such as an organisation that you are applying for a role with) may agree to pay for your Check. In such cases we will take payment from that third party instead of from you. If a third party is paying for your Check, please note that we are under no obligation to process your Check request until we receive payment from that third party.

5.3 Refunds

We advise you to choose our service carefully as we do not normally issue refunds if you change your mind or make a wrong decision. Please also be aware that prepaid credits expire (and are not refundable) 12 months after the initial date of payment.

All requests for refunds will be dealt with in accordance with our refunds policy available at https://www.intercheck.com.au/refund-policy/ By using our Services and submitting a Check request you acknowledge and agree that you have read and understood our refunds policy.

5.4 Referral fees

If a third party has referred you to us, you acknowledge and agree that we may pay that third party a commission, fee or other benefit in consideration for such referral.
