Search over 11.7 million online records
The ACCR database contains information collected from official (government) daily court list websites showing court attendances. They are freely available on the actual date of publication but, in most cases they can't be accessed via the same websites after that date.
Around 10-15 thousand online records are added daily.

Real Estate Agents / Accommodation providersThe ACCR database can be of potential assistance when evaluating persons for rental properties or short/long term boarding house situations. The free Civil Court Records Australia (CCRA) database can also sometimes provide additional information on debt related matters.

Identifying persons before the court for specific offence types
Some other states, whilst not specifically listing actual offences, do provide information in their daily court lists to assist in identifying certain matters such as domestic violence related charges. QLD, NSW and VIC records are a case in point.
The ACCR Database can therefore assist in providing information on persons before the courts for specific offence types, such as:
- Sexual exploitation of children and other sex related offences
- Domestic violence and other violence related offences such as assaults
- Offences related to honesty
- Drug related matters
This is NOT a police criminal history search facility
A police criminal history only shows convictions. In contrast, the ACCR Database contains records of someone's scheduled court appearances, whether they have been later convicted of that offence or otherwise.
It is also important to note that any website offering Australian Police Criminal History searches is either a (mostly U.S. based) scam or will require you to obtain written permission plus ID from the person you are wanting to check - often that is not explained until after payment has been made. Without having written permission, a court order or authorised access (e.g. police), obtaining someone's police criminal history is an offence.
Please also note the ACCR database can not assist with any type of Visa applications nor does it show the outcomes/results of any court matters. It only shows court attendance records. Also, not all states show the offences for which that person was before the courts - see Our Data for more information. |
