A Bankruptcy Check will disclose publicly available bankruptcy history and personal insolvency information in Australia. Results are obtained through AFSA (Australian Financial Security Authority) and matched using the applicant’s full name and date of birth to ensure a high level of certainty in the results returned.

It is a recommended check if you are applying for roles in the financial services or insurance industries, or you will have access to company financial controls or be employed in a position of trust.

Taking the initiative and conducting a Bankruptcy Check will demonstrate to a potential employer that you are transparent about addressing any issues in your financial history.
