National Police Certificate Applications

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (21 July 2014) (Estimates Committee A).

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I have been advised:

The number of National Police Certificate applications processed by SAPOL in 2012-13 was 68,025. The number with a volunteer organisation authorisation number was 21,586.

The number of National Police Certificate applications processed by SAPOL in 2013-14 was 68,572. The number with a volunteer organisation authorisation number was 20,235.

There are organisations accredited by CrimTrac who process their own checks and who are reimbursed under the volunteer organisation authorisation number scheme by the South Australian government. SAPOL do not process these checks. They are additional to the figures provided above and are 10,125 in 2012-13 and 12,445 in 2013-14.
