CRIMINAL RECORD SCREENING
A person recommended for appointment at an EMHS will be subject to a criminal record check prior to that appointment being confirmed. Submission of one's own criminal record check will not be acceptable.
The criminal record screening check will be conducted by the National Exchange of Police Information in Paramatta, New South Wales. For 'Serious Offence', the EMHS will be provided with disclosable court outcomes registered against your name in any Australian Police Jurisdiction, including the Federal Police. The EMHS will NOT receive information about crimes committed as a juvenile; that do not meet the definition of serious offence; or any convictions that have been 'spent'.
Applicants who are recommended for appointment will be required to pay a fee to cover the cost of conducting the screening of criminal record; this fee will be deducted from their pay.
