Oz police check from uk??
Hello again,
Do you know if I can I apply for an Ozzy QLD police check from UK? I'm pretty sure I need one to gain employment in Oz (teaching) & would much prefer to apply from here (whilst I'm earning) than to have to wait round (unemployed) in Oz. Has anybody got any info on this please?

Yes you can on the normal "police check" form 1101 see "overseas applicants please include an international postal reply coupon"
http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1101.pdf
P.S if you apply for it when you are in Aus, I don't think most of them do take 30 days like it says on the form. When I applied for mine ( I had to have one of these for PR as I was living here for 4 years before taking out PR) it was really quick ( so was hubby's). It took two weeks at the most, I think I had iit back in a week and a half if I recall.
My British police check another story , slow, and my singapore one I had to get fingerprints on the form :scared: for their police check - which I got here in my local cop shop, when I explained what I wanted it for.

we did ours as we were living here before and applied via the link above. It's really straight forward and fast too. Just make sure you give them detailed addresses or they send it back!

Re: Oz police check from uk??
Thank you for all of the info. I presumed it would be a normal police check but maybe the one that I need for teaching is different like they are in UK. Can anyone give any advice on this? I need to be able to work as soon as possible upon arrival. All I know is that I will need an Ozzy police check before I can gain employment over there. Any extra info would be fantastic.
