You may have heard that Australia Post has introduced a new service for obtaining International Police Checks.
Unfortunately, it was recently clarified by MIA (Migration Institute of Australia) that the checks obtained through this service are not suitable for immigration and visa application purposes. We have been advised that these checks are for employment purposes only, and are actually considerably more expensive than the usual Department authorised police checks.
To avoid wasting time and causing delays to your application, you should obtain Department-authorised police checks the first-time round.
