All of Orna International’s background and due diligence checks are carried out by, or under the close supervision of, our Australian office. If it is necessary to sub-contract any part of the process, we only use agents known to us for several years and who are completely trustworthy. We monitor any sub-contracted work very carefully.

Orna International’s Australian staff are all specially selected and trained for this work. We screen our own employees very closely and impose a strict Code of Conduct on them. Every case has a Case Manager assigned to it and, they may be contacted at any time during our extended business hours.

In many cases, educational establishments or other information providers, charge a fee for their services. Orna International never value adds on secondary providers’ fees. What we pay, is what you pay.
