Dispute your National Police Check result
What to do if your police check is wrong
If there’s a mistake with your police check result, we might be able to help.
You can ask us to raise a dispute with the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) for you. We can only do this if Service Victoria is on your police check certificate.

When you can raise a dispute
You can request for us to raise a dispute if:
- the police information in the certificate is not yours
- some of the police information is not yours
- it’s your information but the details are wrong
- it’s your information but the police shouldn’t release it
How to request a dispute
To request a dispute, you’ll need to:
- Download and complete a dispute form
- Provide these documents:
- a copy of the NPC certificate
- a copy of an identify document with your photo
- evidence to support your dispute
- Email your form and supporting documents to npcdisputes@service.vic.gov.au
We’ll submit your form and documents to ACIC. If they need more information, we’ll contact you.
It may take from 1 day to a few weeks to get an outcome.
If the outcome is unsuccessful and you still believe your result is wrong, you can reapply to have it reviewed.
