How it works

What you’ll need

What you get back 

  • No disclosable convictions. 

  • Disclosable convictions, with the detail of each. 

What it doesn’t include 

  • Infringements, such as parking tickets. 

  • Charges that haven’t yet gone to court. 

  • Charges where the person wasn’t convicted, or was found not guilty. 

  • Demerit points and driver licence suspensions. 

  • Convictions the person is legally entitled to conceal under the Clean Slate scheme. 

How long it takes 

The Ministry of Justice answers around 90% of requests in under a week, and aims to answer all within 20 working days. Some requests need a manual review by the Ministry, which takes longer. We rely on the Ministry for the result, so we can’t guarantee a turnaround, but we’ll keep you informed of any unusual delay. 

Australian and New Zealand history, together 

For anyone who has lived or worked in New Zealand, pair this with a National Police Check for their Australian history, and you decide with the full picture. 

It covers traffic convictions too, which matters for roles that involve driving. The Clean Slate scheme is applied automatically, so only what can lawfully be disclosed comes back. 

It’s for employment and for appointing people to positions of trust. It can’t be used for immigration.
