What Intercheck Australia does

InterCheck Australia (InterCheck Global Pty Ltd) is an ACIC-accredited agency providing Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks (NCCHCs) to individuals and businesses across all Australian states and territories. The company operates a cloud-based, 100% online self-serve platform (secure.intercheck.com.au) that processes checks through the National Police Checking Service Support System (NSS) using AI-driven biometric facial-recognition identity verification, a verifiable digital certificate with third-party PCE lookup, and AES-256-encrypted storage on AWS Sydney infrastructure. Its product surface comprises a $64.90 standard NCCHC, a $34.90 government-subsidised volunteer check, and a $14.90 Right to Work add-on for visa holders, with enterprise/bulk screening handled through parent company Certn.

The business runs a primarily self-serve, direct-to-consumer model for individuals (PLG) complemented by a sales-led enterprise channel routed via Certn at certn.co/anz, with marketing driven through SEO-optimised state-specific landing pages, an educational blog, and paid acquisition. Distribution is exclusively digital, with no physical storefronts, and customer support is delivered via phone, email, and a Help Center. InterCheck is a wholly owned subsidiary of Certn, positioned as the consumer-facing brand of a broader background-screening platform.

Revenue is generated entirely through per-check transaction fees paid by individuals (one-time, pay-as-you-go), with enterprise revenue flowing to the Certn parent. Named enterprise customers — KPMG, NAB, Telstra, MYOB, Thiess, Deliveroo, EPA Victoria, and the Australian Government — use the Certn business channel rather than the InterCheck consumer P&L. The company's primary regulatory and technical dependencies are ACIC accreditation, AFP access for National Police Certificates, AWS Sydney hosting, ANZ Bank payment processing, and the Department of Home Affairs Document Verification Service.
