Search over 20 million online records
The new Court Data Australia database (which replaces the previous ACCR database), contains daily criminal (and civil) court list data collected from Australian court websites. 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.
Scroll down for further information or click below to access the new CDA database, which shows both criminal and civil records with the one search.

What information is available?
Different courts in each state provide different information, which is taken directly from their daily court list websites.
Only court list (court attendance) records are available and no guilt/innocence should be attributed to any person listed. The outcomes of any court proceedings are not available, however, the information provided does more readily allow for additional inquiries to be made with the relevant court. A detailed breakdown (including extensive screenshots) of what information is shown in each state court is available by clicking on the blue 'Need help or more information?' button at the bottom of the page.

This is NOT a police criminal history search facility
A police criminal history only shows convictions. In contrast, the CDA 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 CDA 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. |
