A simple and cost-effective pre-screening option

The CDA Database is a perfect low-cost pre-screening tool before going to the expense of obtaining a full Police Criminal History Check for an applicant.  

Of particular benefit is that SA, WA & NT records all show the offences for which that person was before the courts.  TAS pre-August 2020 records also show offences.  

For States where the offences are not shown, the Matter Type section can also be informative.

​The civil court records component of the database can also sometimes provide additional information on debt and insurance related matters.

In summary, the more information you can provide a client about a prospective employee, the better.​

Check out a business or trades organisation

​As the CDA database also allows you to search company / business names, it’s also an ideal way to see whether that organisation has been before a civil or criminal court in the past.  
​
Thinking of using a business or a trades person?  A quick CDA database search can sometimes prove worthwhile over and above online reviews.  

Disclaimer: The CDA Database only shows details of persons/organisations that were scheduled to have their matter heard before a court.  No guilt or innocence should be assumed from any name being in the database.
