General Information for an Australian National Police History Check 

GENERAL INFORMATION CrimTrac is collecting your personal information in this form in order to conduct a National Police History Check (NPHC) on you. Approved Agencies in New Zealand, named in section one, use the personal information collected on this form and the resulting NPHC as part of the assessment process to determine suitability for the position/entitlement/benefit which you are applying for.

Unless statutory obligations require otherwise, the information provided on this form will not be used without your prior consent for any purpose other than in relation to the assessment of your suitability or to maintain the records of CrimTrac, Australian Police Agencies1, or NZ Police.

You will be required to complete another consent form for any future NPHC checks.

NATIONAL POLICE HISTORY CHECK (NPHC) A NPHC is an integral part of the assessment of your suitability. Information on this form will be used by CrimTrac, and Australian Police Agencies for checking action; it will also be used to update records held about you by CrimTrac, Australian Police Agencies and NZ Police.

Information released may include outstanding charges, warrant information and criminal convictions/findings/pleas of guilt recorded against you that may be disclosed according to the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and, in the absence of any laws governing the release of that information, according to the relevant jurisdiction information release policy.

LIMITATIONS ON ACCURACY AND USE OF POLICE HISTORY INFORMATION While every care has been taken by CrimTrac to conduct a search of information held by Australian Police Agencies that relate to the applicant, the accuracy and quality of this NPHC depends on accurate identification of the Applicant (including aliases) according to the information provided in the Request and Consent Form and the comprehensiveness of police records. If the applicant does not complete the information requirements in this form the success and validity of the NPHC will be compromised.

If for any reason you do not agree with the results of your NPHC, please notify the Approved Agency that you submitted the check through in the first instance, so that the NPHC dispute process can be initiated.

The release of information by Australian Police Agencies is subject to relevant Spent Convictions, non-disclosure legislation or information release policies.

SPENT CONVICTIONS SCHEMES The aim of Spent Convictions legislation2 is to prevent discrimination on the basis of certain previous convictions. Spent Convictions legislation limits the use and disclosure of older, less serious convictions and findings of guilt. Each Australian Police Agency will apply the relevant Spent Convictions legislation/information release policy prior to disclosure.

The following links may be helpful in sourcing information on Spent Convictions in the Australian States & Territories but may not be relied upon.
