All about Federal Police and Credit Checks

• If you want to work in the country of Australia,
  there are some procedures that you may want to
  look into as they could affect your eligibility.
  If you are looking for work and are from out of
  the country, there are even bigger obstacles you
  need to overcome.

• Your new job will also run a credit check on you.
  Looking for employment may be difficult, but if
  it is something you desire greatly you should
  pursue it. Working in Australia when coming from
  another country will require you to have a work
  permit or visa. Obtaining either of these can be
  quit the task. The requirements for these depend
  on both your nationality and your skills. There
  are three main types of permits you can get. The
  first is Standard Business Sponsorship,
  Independent Visa and lastly, a Working Holiday
  Visa.

• These all allow you to stay for various lengths
  of time, and some have no need of a sponsor.
  Depending on what it is you are actually working
  on, and if you are planning on trying for
  permanent residency, you will need to find out
  which work permit will suit your situation better.

• If you are applying to an Australian job, you
  will be subjected to an Australian federal police
  check. You can be directed to where you can get
  this check processed through your prospective
  employer or online. An Australian Federal police
  check provides your background records to
  conclude that you are eligible to work. These
  checks can also include fingerprint scans and
  assessment.

• Also, if you are looking to gain residency in
  this country, along with the police check, you
  will also have to be assessed against their
  character requirements. All of these security
  checks can be quite lengthy, depending on the
  processing time. Gaining employment in Australia
  is not something that can be done on a whim. It
  takes many months of preparation and getting your
  documentation in order.
