How Do I Interpret My Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check Results?

A Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check certificate will show one of two different types of results:

• No Disclosable Court Outcomes (NDCO)
• Disclosable Court Outcomes (DCO).

No Disclosable Court Outcomes (NDCO)

This means that either there is:

• no police information identified; or
• no police information that can be released based on the check purpose, and the application of relevant spent convictions legislations and/or information release policies.

Disclosable Court Outcomes (DCO)

This means there is police information that can be released based on the details included with the application, including the check purpose.

A check result with a DCO may list the following police information:

• court convictions, including penalties and sentences
• findings of guilt with no conviction
• court appearances
• good behaviour bonds or other court orders
• matters awaiting court hearing
• warrants and/or warnings
• traffic offences

Unable to Process (UTP)

In some circumstances, the Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check submitted is 'unable to be processed'. Some reasons include:

• insufficient or incorrect check data submitted;
• legislation prevents a juvenile check from being processed;
• where informed consent has not been properly collected;
• police data integrity issue; and/or
• when an Request For Information (RFI) has not been finalised within the required timeframe.
