Welcome to the Sex Offender Court Records Australia website
This site and the associated database provides a search facility to see whether a person has appeared before the courts on a sex offence related matter. As far as we are aware, it is the only available search resource of its kind in Australia.
The court attendance data is obtained from daily court attendance list websites in VIC, TAS, SA and NT. Usually this data is freely available on the day of publication, but is then no longer accessible. ACT, QLD and NSW records are not included as those courts do not provide offence details or relevant matter types in their daily court listings.

UPDATE: As of 27 September 2017 WA records are also being added to the database.

Please note:
- The database records contain data of court attendances, not convictions. Please also note a person is assumed to be innocent until found guilty.
- Only matter types/offences using the terms relating to sex offences are included in the database. Other offence types for all states and territories are available at Australian Criminal Court Records.
- The only form of identification for the database court attendance records is the person's name. A confirmed ID is therefore not possible.
- VIC daily court lists do not contain details of the offence/s for which that person was before the court. However, they do contain some additional information such as "Sexual Crime Squad", "Sex Offender Specialist Response Unit", "SOCIT" (Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Teams) or "Committal-Sex Offence" as a matter type.
- Please see the our data page for details of how far back the records go for each state as well as a list of the offence types included in the database.
