From the government's perspective this generally means police clearance that you can request from police station . Can't remember the cost but it is not expensive definitely less than 100 in Perth. Sent from my iPhone On 26/09/2011, at 8:32 AM, Tom Rutter therut...@gmail.com wrote: Gday,

It depends on the government department/agency and the security level of the clearance you wish to obtain. For example, when my employer required me to obtain Highly Protected security clearance with the ATO a couple of years ago, I had to complete many forms and provide certificate copies of

It would be seen as irrelevant. No agency would rely on an outside obtained security clearance. What a massive hole in security that would be! They won't care about the cost of a security clearance if they think they have the right person. T. From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com
