when i first arrived in Australia (from the UK) i also needed current PC as i work in Children services. I contacted my local police station in the UK and they halped me with paperwork ect.

There is some information on the british consulate web page but i did not find the links any use at all.

Do you know anyone still living in the UK who could send you the paperwork (as i think my mum posted mine to me) If you need any more help with it im sure mum wont mind the stuff goingto her house then forwarding on to you.

A lengthly process and very annoying. I have to do the same again as i have only been here 7 years and the time frame is 10!

but maybe someone else has a quicker way of getting round it

HTH
