Address details: what do I need to provide?

Current and previous address details

To apply for a National Police Check, you are required to provide 5 years worth of current and past address details. Your address details must include a current Australian residential address, and if necessary you must provide further previous address details. Previous address details can include overseas addresses.

You will be required to provide all details for each address given (number, street, suburb, city, state, postcode and country). If all your previous addresses are overseas, this isn’t an issue at all, however, you must have a current Australian residential address.

No fixed address

If you don’t have a fixed address for a period of time, that’s ok! You can select the option 'I did not have a fixed address for this period', and provide the date range.

'Point in time' address

You can also provide a 'point in time' address, for an instance where you were travelling for extended period of time. For example, if you are travelling Australia in a caravan, you can put the caravan sites address.
