Does anyone know what it entails when you apply for your Security Clearance (SC) vetting? I'm aware of it looking into your financial history and also immediate family as well as previous accomodation. What else does it entail? I've been told it will take around 10 weeks to complete! :eek:
 
The two types of vetting are Police Vetting and National Security Clearance.

Police Vetting definitions include:
• Recruitment Vetting (RV)
• Management Vetting (MV)
• Non-police personnel Vetting (NPPV) – equivalent to RV or MV

National Security Clearance definitions include:
• Counter Terrorist Check (CTC)
• Security Check (SC)
• Developed Vetting (DV)

Vetting Levels
To integrate police vetting and national security clearance requirements six levels have been established, one of which will be applied to every role. The vetting level required is determined by the degree of access to premises, computer systems and information – and the breadth and depth of vetting increases proportionately.

Vetting levels are:
• Level 1 – RV (Basic check)
• Level 2 – RV (Advanced check)
• Level 3 – RV (Advanced check) and CTC
• Level 4 – MV and CTC
• Level 5 – MV and SC
• Level 6 – MV and DV

I've going thru Level 5 vetting but am a lil worried about family members who have been on the wrong side of the law in the past n how much that will affect my application - have been offered the position after a successful interview but now upon reflection feel that I may have a serious chance of being refused which sucks ass - how can someone be judged on their family and not as an individual? :confused: I just hope they see me for the person I am (never been in trouble with the law ever and contributed to society by working in the medical field and social services previously) and not for the family members I have :mad:
 
well this is gonna be an interesting next few weeks for sure - I had the manager call me today as well to put icing on the cake saying how much he was looking forward to working with me and personally congratulate me for flying thru the interview earlier this week.
