Yes! Our Australian police check includes a right to work check, and will automatically verify the candidate's working rights within the police check. If incorrect information is entered within the police check resulting in it returning as flagged, the user can resubmit the application for a reduced cost, which re-checks the right to work with the updated information. This ensures correct information is validated before being sent to the ACIC meaning a much significantly decreased likelihood that candidate errors will affect the outcome.

volunteers due to the vulnerability of their patrons or because the volunteers will work with
