A simpler way to complete nationally coordinated criminal history checks, with online identity verification and no need for your organisation to collect or store identity documents.

More than a police check

Reusable digital identity and an applicant-led online process.

Reusable digital identity built in

Applicants verify their identity online through TrueVault. There is no need for your organisation or Validex to collect or store copies of identity documents.

Applicants can reuse their verified digital identity for future supported transactions, reducing onboarding friction and making future checks simpler.

The same national police checking service.
A simpler way to use it.

Police agencies and ACIC Accredited Bodies access the same National Police Checking Service. Validex provides integrated digital identity verification and practical tools for childcare providers managing recruitment across one or multiple services.

01

Send individual or bulk invitations from Validex PRO, with workplaces, roles and cost centres organised in one place.

02

Applicants complete consent, identity verification and a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check online.

03

Track application status. The applicant receives the result and shares it securely with your organisation.

Why this matters for NSW early learning

The NSW Early Learning Commission calls a National Police Check a prudent addition to child safe recruitment. When a service chooses to use one, Validex provides access to the same national checking service used by police agencies, combined with online identity verification, reusable digital identity and a provider dashboard. A police check complements the required Working with Children Check and other suitability enquiries; it does not replace them.
