Free accounts

Registering an account at the CDA Database allows a user to conduct searches for people and businesses to see if they are in the database.  Conducting a search brings up all variation of that name and shows the numbers of records associated with a specific name (e.g. [3]) and identifies whether the matter is criminal (CR) or civil (CV).

To obtain full details of all the database records, paid access is required. 

Single user access fees

• $17.50 +GST - 12 hours of access (unlimited searches)​
• $45.00 +GST - 1 month of access ($1.50/day)
• $450.00 +GST - 1 year of access ($1.23/day)

Corporate accounts

​Corporate accounts provide database access for two or more persons from the same organisation at reduced fees. They can only apply where the email address of the account holder is for the business or agency email domain.

Fees are based on a primary account being created (for liaison purposes) at the usual yearly fee of $450. All additional accounts for the same corporate account are then only $200 per year.

Some fee examples are:
​

• $650 for 2 accounts - $325.00 each ($0.89/day)
• $850 for 3 accounts - $283.34 each ($0.78/day)
• $1,050 for 4 accounts - $262.50 each ($0.72/day)
• $1,250 for 5 accounts - $250.00 each ($0.68/day)
• $2,250 for 10 accounts - $225.00 each ($0.62/day)

​The above fees exclude GST and are for 1 year of access.  Searches are unlimited.​

Adding additional accounts

If you've trialled the CDA database and wish to arrange multiple accounts, please have all the persons to have access create their accounts.  Then contact us with the email addresses of all people to have access. We will then confirm pricing and provide instructions on how to make payment so those accounts can be upgraded.

Fees for 'not-for-profit' (NFP) organisations

A 90% discount is available for NFP organisations.

For example, the current yearly fee of $495.00 would be discounted to $49.50 ($0.14/day).  

Please contact us and provide the name of your charity or NFP as it would appear on the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission website.

Payments at the CDA Database are securely handled by Stripe.

An alternative payment option is provided by Braintree (a PayPal service).
