uPaged nurses require a new National Police Check (NPC) as a 'point in time' check before you can pick up shifts via uPaged. It is a mandatory requirement for working in all Australian hospitals.

Your National Police Check (NPC), sometimes called an Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) check, includes verification of your identity as required by employers, previously known as the 100 point ID check.

You can either upload a check that you have obtained recently (within 12 months), or obtain a new check.

Uploading an existing NPC

You can upload an existing NPC to your profile, provided it is:
  1. from with 12 months of commencement of any employment;
  2. from an Australian ASIC accredited provider
  3. be for employment purposes

To upload an existing police check:
 
  1. Go to the Work Clearances section in your profile on web, or find it under Clearances in your Checklist on the app. 
  2. Add the date your NPC was acquired 
  3. Upload your supporting evidence 
  4. Check the declaration
  5. Hit Save

Popular FAQs 

uPaged nurses require a Police Check as a 'point in time' check before you can pick up jobs via uPaged; some facilities may require a more recent check to be provided. It is a mandatory requirement for working in all Australian facilities.

This will depend on the facility's requirements for how often a new police check needs to be conducted.

If there is a change in your ability to work or criminal history since your National Police Check with uPaged, you are obliged to notify:

  • AHPRA
  • All of your current employer(s)

It is then up to AHPRA to determine if this change is relevant to your practice.

If AHPRA alters or terminates your registration, they will notify uPaged and your employer(s).

Failing to notify AHPRA of a change in criminal history is a breach of your professional registration and your uPaged registration.
