Spent Convictions Legislation
The aim of spent convictions legislation is to pre
vent 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.
There are some offences excluded from being spent where
the check is required for certain
purposes as indicated in the table above – these offences will be released regardless of how old
they are.
Where a record exists within an Australian police jurisdiction, relevant spent conviction
legi
slation/policies governing the release of that information for that jurisdiction will be applied.
As a result certain convictions will not be released provided this is in accordance with the
relevant legislation/policies.
For Commonwealth records the AFP applies the provisions within Par
t VIIC of the Crimes Act
1914 and for ACT records provisions within the ACT Spent Convictions Act 2000 are applicable.
If further information or clarification is required please contact the individual jurisdiction where
the re
cord is held.
Provision of False or Misleading Information
You are asked to certify that the personal information
you have provided on this form is correct.
Where your check is for employment related purposes and the result is to be provided to your
employer or other organisation, discovery of any false or misleading information may be
reported by the AFP and may impact on the decision being undertaken by the employer or
organisation.
The AFP provides information, with your consent, to the emp
loyer or organisation but takes no
part in any subsequent assessment.
Disputed Record Enquiries
If you believe the information provided on your po
lice certificate is incorrect or inaccurate
contact AFP Criminal Records to obtain a Disputed Record form (CR 1200). This form is also
available from the AFP website.
Include any additional information or documents supporting your enquiry to enable the AFP to
more ac
curately assess your application. In some instances the AFP may require comparison
fingerprints to resolve some disputes. Applicants will be notified in such instances.
The Privacy Commissioner is responsible fo
r ensuring the protection of private information
relating to individuals. This includes investigating instances where information has been
released improperly or incorrectly. An individual who believes the standards dealing with
disclosure and use of old conviction information have been breached may apply to the Privacy
Commissioner for an investigation of the matter. The phone number is 1300 363 992.
