What is an AHPRA-Approved International Criminal History Check?

An International Criminal History Check (ICHC), also known as an AHPRA criminal check or AHPRA police check, is a mandatory part of applying for an AHPRA registration certificate. If you’ve lived or worked overseas, this check verifies your international criminal history as required by AHPRA.

It must be completed through an approved provider to ensure your results are secure, compliant, and recognised by the regulator.

Note: You do not need to upload or send your results to AHPRA. Your ICHC report is delivered directly for compliance.

Prior to requesting your own check please confirm, prior to ordering, if our reports will be acceptable to the agency you are providing the report to.

If your criminal check is for VISA purposes, please confirm with the authorities (before you submit your application) whether a check done through a third-party company such as AIS is acceptable.

Many countries will not provide official government responses. It is your responsibility to confirm if our reports are acceptable and AIS makes no warranties of their acceptance.
