Volunteers play an important role in charities, sporting clubs, community groups, not-for-profit organisations and other community-based services.

When an organisation regularly recruits volunteers, managing police checks can create significant administrative work. Teams may need to invite applicants, monitor incomplete applications, follow up on identification requirements and securely manage completed results.

AuthNTick helps organisations simplify this process through a secure online screening platform and reduced-rate Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks for eligible unpaid volunteer roles.

Simplify Volunteer Screening

Rather than asking each volunteer to organise their check independently, organisations can use AuthNTick to manage the screening process through one central background-check dashboard.

Depending on the organisation's account configuration, authorised users can:

  • invite volunteers to complete their check online
  • monitor application progress
  • reduce manual follow-ups and administration
  • receive completed results electronically
  • manage screening records securely
  • access Australian-based support when assistance is required

The online process is designed to make volunteer screening easier for both the organisation and the volunteer. Organisations can also learn more about AuthNTick's workforce screening platform and the Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Volunteer Check.

Reduced Rates for Eligible Volunteer Roles

Reduced volunteer pricing may be available where the check is being completed for a genuine unpaid volunteer role that satisfies the applicable eligibility requirements.

Volunteer checks must not be used for paid employment or roles that do not meet the relevant volunteer criteria. AuthNTick can help organisations understand the onboarding process and determine the appropriate screening arrangement for their volunteer workforce.

Suitable for Organisations of Different Sizes

AuthNTick can support organisations that onboard volunteers occasionally as well as organisations managing regular or higher-volume recruitment. This may include:

  • charities and not-for-profit organisations
  • sporting clubs and associations
  • community service providers
  • religious and faith-based organisations
  • education and training providers
  • volunteer support programs
  • community events and outreach programs

Where required, organisations may also be able to access additional screening services through AuthNTick, including identity verification, work rights checks, reference checks, qualification verification and work history checks.
