What QLD Daily Court List can — and cannot — tell you.
Is a potential match definitely the same person?
No. A name alone is not sufficient to prove identity. Review the source and verify independently.
Does a court-list appearance mean guilt or conviction?
No. It only records that a matter was listed. The person may be a party, applicant, respondent, defendant or involved in another capacity, and no outcome is implied.
How often are lists checked?
Every weekday at 6am, 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am, noon and 2pm in Australia/Brisbane time, so each morning's Magistrates Court lists are downloaded as they are published.
Can I scan old court lists?
Yes. The watchlist page can queue a historical scan across past documents held in the service archive. Progress is displayed on the page.
Will an archive scan send old SMS alerts?
No. Historical matches are stored and labelled for review, but archive scans do not send a flood of retrospective email or SMS notifications.
Are suppressed matters included?
No. Suppressed, protected or non-public matters may be omitted or shown only as “suppressed”. The service must not attempt to reveal protected information.
Which courts are supported?
QLD Daily Court List monitors the official published Queensland Magistrates Court daily law lists for every listed location statewide. Lists are checked automatically every weekday and the original PDF version is archived.
