Background checks
When a claim matters, check what the records can actually show.
Before a relationship, financial or business decision, you may want to know whether an important story stands up to scrutiny. We assess lawful public-record and background enquiries across Australia, then explain what the sources support and what remains unknown.
Start with a short enquiry. We assess suitability and agree the scope and price before payment.

Does this feel familiar?
Check the claim before it shapes your decision.
The story sounds convincing, but an important detail about work, business or past dealings does not line up.
What we can clarify
We identify the precise claim, check suitable accessible sources and show you which facts are supported, disputed or still unknown.
Ask about a background review Is this about someone you met online?When this may help
- A person’s work, business or identity claims do not match what you have found.
- A personal or commercial decision depends on a specific fact you can check.
- You need help understanding relevant insolvency, business or accessible court information.
What you receive
- An agreed research question and suitable public or authorised sources
- Relevant identity, professional and business-claim research, with insolvency or accessible court sources where appropriate
- A source-referenced report separating verified records, possible matches and unresolved questions
A considered approach
This is not a National Police Check, a private credit report or unrestricted access to criminal or family-court files. Official criminal history checks require the applicant’s informed consent through a police agency or accredited body. Public records can be incomplete or belong to someone with the same name. No finding certifies safety or proves that no history exists.
We agree the scope and price before work. Additional enquiries require your approval.
What can be checked?
Depending on your question and the available identifiers, a scoped review may examine public business registrations, the Australian personal insolvency register, professional claims and court information that is lawfully accessible. We confirm which searches are suitable, any third-party search fees and the total price before work.
A matching name or a court listing is a lead to verify, not proof that it relates to the person you mean or that an allegation was established.
About the public Bankruptcy Register SearchLooking for criminal history?
A National Police Check is a separate official process requiring the applicant’s informed consent. PartnerCheck does not offer a covert criminal history lookup. We can explain the difference between a public-record review and an official check so you choose the right pathway.

Compare all packages Understand the total cost Is an investigator the right next step?What to prepare
Describe the decision you face and one or two specific claims to check. Do not put a subject’s full name, date of birth, court papers or personal documents into the public enquiry form. We request necessary identifiers through the private brief after assessment.
Agree the scope before payment
We confirm the lawful sources, identity-matching limits, any registry fees and total price before research. Public-record review is separate from a consent-based official police check.

Answers to the questions that shape your brief.
What can a personal background review establish?
A review can compare specific identity, professional and business claims with relevant available sources. The useful starting point is the decision you are making and the facts you need checked. We explain what is supported, inconsistent or still unknown.
Is this a police check or credit report?
No. These packages are scoped research services, not a National Police Check or private credit report. An official criminal history check requires the applicant’s informed consent through a police agency or accredited body. We cannot certify that a person is safe.
Can you check bankruptcy or court matters?
We can assess relevant public insolvency information and court material that is lawfully accessible for the particular question. Availability, identity matching, search fees and any access restrictions vary. Family-court files and private records are not open-ended background sources. We agree the precise searches and total price before work.
Can I request a background check on a partner?
You can submit a confidential enquiry explaining the purpose and the specific claims you want reviewed. We assess suitability and authority before accepting the work. We do not facilitate harassment, prohibited contact or unlawful access.
When do I pay?
First we assess your enquiry and invite you to complete the relevant brief. You review the agreed scope and total before receiving a payment request through the client portal. Research begins under the accepted engagement terms.
