I was convicted of drunk driving 10 years ago when I was 23 (and stupid), and never got it expunged. Now I've been offered a job in Australia, but I'm worried I won't be able to pass the character assessment of the application because of the fact that the conviction appears on my police record. Can anyone who has been in a similar situation let me know what happened?
