Hello Folks,
I had a DVO placed on me 2 years ago ( the order was accepted by me without admission) . The DVO system says its a ' national order' but my national police check doesn't show any court orders . Does anyone know where the order is actually recorded - IE QLD police check or a DVO database etc....

Thanks
Barry

A DVO is a civil order given by the courts, so it is not automatically included in police checks. A DVO is not a criminal conviction, but breaching the terms of a DVO can result in criminal prosecution. As such, a DVO won’t show up on your police check unless a breach has occurred.

Short of issuing a subpoena for all of your records to qld police it won't show up. If you want a copy just go into a station, tell them you have lost it and request a copy.
