What Is A Volunteer National Police Check

Western Australia

The criminal records database used by WA Police contains court outcome and charge information resulting from investigations

initiated by police. Many offences are investigated and prosecuted by non-police agencies. The details of court outcomes and

pending charges resulting from these investigations may not be included in the screening process. The release of certain court

outcomes (eg. spent convictions) and pending charge information is restricted by legislation. Such information will not be

acknowledged in the reply to the volunteer group.

Other Australian Police Jurisdictions

Where a police record with another Australian police jurisdiction has been identified, any relevant legislation and release policy

governing that police jurisdiction will be applied before it is acknowledged. Under various sections of Commonwealth, State and

Territory legislation a person has the right, in particular circumstances or for a particular reason, to not disclose certain court

outcomes and pending charges. Such court outcomes and pending charges will not be acknowledged, providing this is in

accordance with relevant legislation or release policy. If further information is required in relation to the legislation and release

policies of any police jurisdiction, please contact that individual police jurisdiction directly.

The CrimTrac Agency

WA Police will utilise the services provided by the Commonwealth CrimTrac Agency to search and collate records held by other

Australian police jurisdictions.
