The Scouts Australia National Child Protection Policy requires that all adult members have a National Police Check. This must also be renewed at least once every five years.
Completing or renewing your National Police Check is a simple process.

You will receive an email from Member services when you need to complete a National Police check. The quickest way is to click on the link provided in the email to complete your application and upload your documents.

However you choose to provide the identity documents, you will need four of them. The full list of what documents are acceptable is here.

• one commencement of identity document
• one primary use in the community document
• two secondary use in the community documents

The combination of the identity documents collected must contain your full name, date of birth and a photograph of you.

Once you have completed the application form and submitted the documents, that’s it. Scouts Victoria will contact you and update your record as appropriate.

Please do not undergo your own National Police Check. This will not only cost you money, but it is most likely that you will not request a National Police Check that we can accept. The National Police Checks that we conduct cover more than just Child Protection issues.

If you have any questions, please first refer to the Frequently Asked Questions sheet for further information, here.

If the FAQ has not helped you, please contact the Membership Support team, on 8543 9800 or email pcrenewals@scoutsvictoria.com.au
