It is important to note that if your police check is 'referred' it is possible that your application is referred in more than one State or Territory and any information released will need to be considered against each of the States release policy.
WorkPro is not made aware of how many States/Territories your check is being reviewed and we cannot guarantee how long the process takes.
Additionally, because WorkPro is based in Victoria, the release of information will be be based on Victorian policy, so the outcome of your check by WorkPro and the time taken to finalise your check needs to be taken in to consideration.
