  Do you have your original police good conduct certificates from each country where you have spent 12 months or more (cumulative) in total in last 10 years?

For example: 5 visits to Australia of 3 months each in the last 10 years would mean your total stay was 15 months. Therefore, you would need to provide a police clearance from Australia.
