The normal processing time by the AFP is approx 10 to 15 working days from receipt of your application.

If the applicant has any prior criminal offences, it is likely that there may be a delay in processing times. The certificate issued by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) is usually acceptable for most uses. The AFP certificate may disclose details of any offences previously committed by the applicant and details of the sentences imposed. It may also disclose any other names that the applicant has been previously known by.
If you do require a police check for work purposes, you should check with your employer if you require a certificate issued by the Australian Federal Police or your State Police before proceeding with this service.
