What if I want to dispute the information on my Nationally Co-ordinated Criminal History Check?

While every care is taken, the accuracy of a police check depends on a number of factors and on occasion a Nationally Co-ordinated Criminal History Check (police check) is released with incorrect information.

Reasons for a dispute may include:

• the incorrect identification of the applicant;
• information held in police records has not been correctly matched to the applicant; or
• incomplete information was provided at the time of application.

Disputes can be raised when an applicant claims that:

• the police information released does not belong to them;
• part of the police information does not belong to the them;
• the police information belongs to the them, but the details are inaccurate; or
• the police information belongs to them, but should not have been released.
