Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for my check to be processed?

75% of our police checks are returned within the hour whilst the remaining 25% can take anywhere between 2 - 20 business days to be completed and returned.

How much is the police check and how can I make payment?

Police check applications cost $52.00 including GST and must be paid for online using PayPal or a Credit Card.

Where is the closest PharmacyID member?

Once your application has been submitted and paid for you will be provided with a map displaying the nearest PharmacyID member based on your current residential address. This map is interactive and can be changed to suit the location that best suits you.

Can my employer validate and confirm my police check certificate?

You can have your application validated by using the Police Check Lookup Tool that is available from our site. Please visit https://secure.prm.net.au/police-checks/applicationLookup.aspx and complete the fields and click search. A legitimate check will then be displayed.

How long is my police check valid for?

Police checks are a point in time check and should not be relied upon for an unreasonable amount of time for this purpose. Legislative requirements differ in regard to how long a police check can be used. For example, in the Aged Care industry, a police check is valid for three years, after which time it must be renewed.

Is my police check the same as a working with children’s check?

The Working with Children Check and the Aged /Vulnerable/Children police check are the same police checks, however the WWC check includes additional background screening. Therefore a WWC must be applied for separately.

What if my chosen pharmacy is not able to verify my identity?

PharmacyID has built in two contingency methods to verify your identity. Identity documents can still be copied and certified and then sent via email to our office on [email protected] or mail your verified documents by mail to PO Box 611 Moonee Ponds VIC 3039.

If I need help completing my online police check can someone help me?

Yes. Our consultants are available to assist you during business hours (Monday-Friday 8.00am to 5.00pm AEST) on 03 9379 3383 or via Live Chat.
