NT Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Checks show all matters awaiting trial such as charges, court convictions (including penalty and/or sentence), guilty findings without conviction, good behaviour bonds and other court orders. Some historical charges may be dropped from reports, however, as per the Criminal Records (Spent Convictions) Act 1992. Under the Act, minor offences will not show up on a police report if there has been a crime-free period afterwards of ten years for adults and five years for juveniles. Any offence can qualify for this unless they are sexually related; are charges against a corporate entity; involve an intensive supervision order, or a lengthy prison term is issued.
