They'll know more about you than you do yourself from what I've read. But if what you say is true and you have nothing to hide then just make sure you're honest, same as with SC, except more personal

They'll also most likely interview colleagues/friends/family and ask them some pretty personal questions about yourself too. I remember reading one guy went for DV and his friends were asked if they were aware of any homosexual relationships past/present etc. Basically, anything which could potentially be used against you. They get hold of your browsing history too apparently

...Forgot to mention in my first post. Anybody who is currently DV cleared won't be telling you they're DV cleared, well, they shouldn't be at least...

If you thought suitcases handcuffed to wrists was just for the movies, prepare to be surprised

Anyone who is DV cleared won’t tell you they are. Everything you need to know is here

Just tell the truth regardless of what they ask, anything you would normally be worried/embarrassed about admitting. They won’t use information against you, they just want the truth.

This x1000 - they will have pretty comprehensive information about you and are looking for angles you could be pressured from by a third party. Good luck

The vetters are not just looking at vulnerability to blackmail/pressure BTW, they are also looking for signs of instability, political or religious extremism or health problems - mental and physical (blackouts, dementia etc).

And, it goes without saying, most of all they are looking at basic honesty/reliabilty.

Exactly this.
