Criminal records, CASA and pilots.

In regards to the ASIC,I don't think your employer gets info, you sign a declaration giving permission to do a background check but you give no consent for your employer to receive this info, it's not for the employers benefit, it's so we don't have sicko's planting bombs etc. airside or drug smugglers having fun.

Partly correct there. The information is supplied by the Feds if your employer requests it BUT when you require an ASIC in Sydney for example, SACL also receive info from feds and won't accept a criminal record and certain serious offences......... (wife works for feds)

Mr Plod,
oh I'm out there....and lovin" every minute of it!!!!!

If the Criminal History Check is requested by an airport for an ASIC card they should not pass it on to anyone. Nothing to stop an employer requesting you to have a Criminal History Check prior to commencing employment.
They only cost $30.

thanks KAOS, I must have passed as I have had ASIC clearances for SYD, Darwin and a couple of private security checks. The last ones were diffinetly for the employer as given the nature of their product they were digging, any violence, DUI, firearms related or theft were a guarentee a candidate would not be getting a start with them.

By now the Feds must be getting sick of pulling my file.

PPRuNe works in mysterious ways! It was, in fact, around the subject in the limelight on this thread: http://www.pprune.org/cgibin/ultimat...&f=12&t=006554
on whom I based THIS topic, unaware that he had again added to his "record", albeit overseas this time.

So just how thoroughly are backgrounds checked, especially if the candidate answers "No" to the question, "Do you have, or have you ever had a conviction recorded against you?"

Thinking laterally,
A criminal record may not affect you much in OZ. As pointed out, you all were mostly crims to start with. However, should you wish to work overseas a criminal record may prevent you accessing a working visa for that country. Convictions for flying offences have stopped visas for PNG expats before.....

We should think ourselves lucky. In the USA, if you get done for DUI, your pilots license is revoked for whatever period your drivers license is.

there are a few people in this industry who should have criminal records
