SC Check status

[AtW]

Probably a stupid question and I could Google it but what do they actually check for Security Clearance?

What's more important is what they don't check - your CUK posting history, otherwise most people on here won't stand a chance.

What instructions?

9) Pass the enclosed copy to your line manager.

10) Inform your Personnel Department that you have been granted clearance but not at what level.

WHS

9. Eat letter after reading.

10. Under penalty of death never mention any content from the letter.

It must of changed. it used to be

9) don't discuss whether you are or are not security cleared.

10) clearance is automatically terminated if you fail to follow 9.

Oh dear.

Don't forget to follow the instructions in the letter, specifically points "9 & 10".

I received a letter (snail mail) when mine had been (successfully) completed.

This was Jan this year.

Hi all,

My application status for Security Clearance is 'Complete', but the grunt squad's website doesn't specify whether it was successful or not. Anyone know whether 'Complete' is the NSV's way of saying, "You are cleared" or can I take it literally and assume that the lack of a sign of failure is NOT a sign of success? Or perhaps they are deliberately understating the matter and I've failed dismally?

The lack of info in the NSV status is pretty useless either way.

It means they've done the checks. Whether or not the local SSO passes you is another question. They will let you know in time.

Think positive - it tookl a month between mine being completed and the security team telling me last time....
