Police agencies held no police information against the applicant; OR
Police agencies can not release police information according to the purpose and category of the nationally coordinated criminal history check or due to relevant spent convictions legislation and information release policies.
A DCO result means there is:
Police agencies can release police information on the nationally coordinated criminal history check.

The majority of checks (approximately 70 per cent) get dispatched to applicants in 24 hours. The remaining can take longer than 15 days.
Manual reviews get referred automatically and may occur when part or all of the data on an applicant's file is similar to Australian criminal history databases. In such cases, a manual review is conducted by an official from Australian police agencies. It is beyond the scope of ANCC to predict which applications or applicants may become referred for manual processing.
Checks referred to for manual processing do not necessarily mean an applicant has a criminal history. Instead, it can result from the search algorithm matching shared data like names and date of birth.

Decision-makers in Tasmanian institutions, companies and other organisations have a duty to secure their brand, staff and customers.
