When you apply for a national police check, your result will show one of two outcomes:
प्रकट करने योग्य न्यायालयी परिणाम — disclosable criminal history is present on your record.
कोई खुलासा योग्य अदालती परिणाम नहीं — no disclosable criminal history. A clear result.
खुलासा योग्य न्यायालय परिणामों में क्या दिखाई देता है? #
आपकी पुलिस जांच में निम्नलिखित शामिल हो सकते हैं:
- प्रतिबद्धता — court findings where you were found guilty and convicted
- बिना दोषसिद्धि के अपराध का निष्कर्ष — where the court found you guilty but did not record a conviction (e.g. Section 19B Commonwealth, Section 10 NSW)
- लंबित आरोप — matters currently before the courts
- यातायात संबंधी दोषसिद्धि — driving offences convicted in court (not infringement notices)
- यौन अपराध — all sexual offence convictions
- गंभीर हमले के अपराध — violent offence convictions
- अन्य गंभीर मामले — offences not covered by spent conviction schemes
What is not included in your police check? #
आपके चेक पर निम्नलिखित जानकारी नहीं दिखाई देगी:
- समाप्त हो चुके दोषसिद्धि — convictions that meet spent conviction criteria (see below)
- उल्लंघन नोटिस — traffic fines and parking tickets paid without court
- विदेशों में दोषसिद्धि — offences outside Australia
- मोड़ कार्यक्रम — successfully completed diversion agreements
- खारिज या वापस लिए गए आरोप — matters that did not proceed to conviction
- पेशेवर प्रतिबंध — disciplinary actions by professional bodies or unions
Understanding spent convictions #
ऑस्ट्रेलिया में ऐसी दोषसिद्धि योजनाएं हैं जिनके तहत कुछ निश्चित दोषसिद्धि को एक निश्चित अवधि के बाद आपके रिकॉर्ड से हटाया जा सकता है।.
Automatic spent convictions #
निम्नलिखित स्थितियों में दोषसिद्धि स्वतः समाप्त हो सकती है:
- 10 वर्ष दोषसिद्धि के बाद से बीते हुए समय (वयस्कों के लिए)
- 5 साल दोषसिद्धि के बाद से बीते हुए समय (किशोर अपराधियों के लिए - न्यू साउथ वेल्स में 3 वर्ष)
- प्रतीक्षा अवधि के दौरान कोई और अपराध नहीं किया गया।
- Waiting-period commencement varies by jurisdiction — in some states it starts from the date of conviction, in others after any imprisonment term is completed
Convictions that can never be spent #
कुछ गंभीर अपराध आपके रिकॉर्ड में स्थायी रूप से दर्ज रहते हैं:
- Sexual offences (in most jurisdictions — Victoria allows court applications to spend serious convictions, including sexual offences)
- Convictions with prison sentences over 30 months (Commonwealth/VIC) or 6 months (NSW) — thresholds vary by state
- कॉर्पोरेट निकायों की सजाएँ
- कानून द्वारा निर्दिष्ट कुछ विनियामक अपराध
Court application required #
For serious convictions (violence, sexual offences, longer sentences), you may need to apply to a Magistrates’ Court for a spent conviction order. This requires:
- meeting the waiting period
- demonstrating rehabilitation
- court approval
Spent conviction laws vary by state and territory. Commonwealth matters have different rules from state matters.
Understanding “without conviction” findings #
If your check shows “Without conviction discharged” (e.g. Section 19B Crimes Act 1914), this means:
- the court found you guilty of an offence
- no conviction was recorded
- you were likely placed on a good behaviour bond or recognisance
- this finding still appears on your police check, even though it’s not technically a “conviction”
ये निष्कर्ष पूर्व दोषसिद्धि से भिन्न हैं और इनके समाधान के लिए कानूनी सलाह की आवश्यकता हो सकती है।.
अदालती नतीजों का खुलासा नहीं किया जा सकता (एनडीसीओ) #
A result showing “No Disclosable Court Outcomes” means:
- you have no convictions or pending charges, or
- any convictions you had are now spent and not disclosable
यह पुलिस जांच का स्पष्ट परिणाम है।.
Where does this information come from? #
A national police check searches:
- all Australian state and territory police databases
- ऑस्ट्रेलियाई संघीय पुलिस रिकॉर्ड
- court records from Magistrates’, Children’s, County and Supreme Courts
- all jurisdictions where you have lived in Australia
This is a nationwide check — convictions from other states will appear.
What are police checks used for? #
पुलिस जांच आमतौर पर निम्नलिखित के लिए आवश्यक होती है:
- रोजगार जांच — financial roles, healthcare, childcare, aged care
- NDIS कार्यकर्ता स्क्रीनिंग — disability support workers
- बच्चों के साथ काम करना — teachers, coaches, childcare workers
- कमजोर लोगों के साथ काम करना — aged care, disability support
- लाइसेंसिंग — firearms, security, real estate, rideshare drivers
- वीज़ा और नागरिकता आवेदन
- स्वयंसेवी पद — community organisations, sports clubs
Do police checks expire? #
A police check is a “point in time” check and shows your criminal history at the time it was issued.
वैधता #
- police checks don’t technically “expire”
- most organisations accept checks less than 3 महीने पुराना
- some industries (NDIS, childcare) may have specific timeframes
- your check remains available in your CheckHub portal for 3 months
When to get a new check #
- when applying for a new job or role
- if your previous check is older than 3 months
- if you’ve been convicted of a new offence
- when required by your employer or industry
Who can apply? #
18 वर्ष से अधिक आयु का कोई भी व्यक्ति पुलिस सत्यापन के लिए आवेदन कर सकता है। अपना सत्यापन करवाने से आपको निम्नलिखित लाभ मिलते हैं:
- understand what’s on your record
- be prepared for employment applications
- identify any errors that need disputing
- apply for spent convictions if eligible
प्रोसेसिंग समय #
मानक प्रसंस्करण #
- 80% of Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks are completed within 1–3 minutes
