Eligibility Requirements

pdf print version of Information for Applicants

Australian Citizenship

To be eligible for employment with the CrimTrac Agency, you must be an Australian citizen.

Redundancy Benefits

If you have received a redundancy benefit from an Australian Public Service (APS) agency or non-APS Commonwealth employer within the last 12 months you may apply for positions with CrimTrac, but the Agency can not employ you until the 12 months have passed.

Security Clearance

CrimTrac positions are positions of trust with a requirement for a security clearance to the 'Protected' level.

If you are offered employment with CrimTrac, you will be required to undergo a security clearance. This will involve completing a security assessment package and providing documentation that contains proof of your claims (e.g. proof of residential address).

Integrity Check

CrimTrac must verify you are of good character through an integrity check. The integrity clearance involves:

• checking police records for unspent criminal convictions (this is generally conducted as part of the security clearance but may be completed separately if required); and
• confirming the details given in your employment application (including employment history, employment references, educational qualifications, and professional memberships).

Medical Examination

If you are offered employment with CrimTrac and are not currently an ongoing employee of the APS, you will be required to undergo a health assessment. The health assessment is conducted to ensure you have the health and mental capacity to meet the requirements of the position and to identify any adjustments that may need to be made in the workplace.

Probation

If you are offered employment with CrimTrac, and are not currently an ongoing employee of the APS, your employment will be subject to a 6-month probationary period, during which time your conduct and work performance will be assessed to determine whether they meet the standards required by the agency.

If CrimTrac receives unsatisfactory reports on any of the above eligibility checks, you may be assessed as unsuitable for employment. If you have been offered the position, the offer may be withdrawn.
