Australian Court Records Search

A name is enough for an individual. State is optional, and leaving it off searches every state. For a company, a name or an ACN. If you already hold a case number or case title, you can search on those directly.

No. A listing records that a matter was before a court, with the court, location, date and case title. The outcome of the matter sits outside the record, so a listing is a reason to look further rather than a conclusion.

All eight states and territories, plus federal, across civil and criminal listings. Court Check filters on state and on civil, criminal or all. Court Search adds a court-level filter across 38 supported courts, among them local, district, supreme, magistrates, county, coroner, family, tribunal and federal, plus jurisdiction type and level.

Yes. Search by company name or ACN. Company checks are commonly paired with a KYB check, so directors and beneficial owners surfaced there can be screened as individuals in the same review.

A summary returns a count of matching records by type — enough to tell you whether anything exists. A detailed report returns the full record list. Most teams run summaries across a file and pull detail only on the matches.

Yes. The bulk API endpoint takes up to 20 subjects per call, sharing report type, listing scope and date range across all of them. Larger files are processed as repeated batches.

Clients are vetted before access is granted, and access is tied to a stated purpose — due diligence under an AML/CTF program, credit and collections, fraud investigation, supplier checks, or employment screening on recorded consent. General curiosity falls outside that.

You confirm it. Records are returned because a name and state appear in public court records, so the match is on name rather than on a resolved identity. With common names in particular, some results will belong to someone else. Verify before acting on a result, and pair the check with identity data where the decision warrants it.

Yes. Court Search filters on the date a record was added to the database as well as the hearing date. Store the timestamp of your last run and pass it on the next one, and you get only what has been listed since. That is how case-watching and litigation monitoring are built.

Court Check screens against the full 40M+ adverse court record set. Court Search, the high-speed research index with the full filter set, covers listed cases from 1 January 2026 onwards. Use Court Check when historical depth matters and Court Search when you are researching recent matters or monitoring for new ones.

Either. Run searches in Caspar with no integration work, where court data appears inside the subject profile, or call the same checks by API from your own systems. Most clients start in Caspar and integrate once the check becomes part of a repeatable process.
