Hey guys I’ve recently done my interview for the vetting I wanted to quickly ask if someone with the drink drive conviction from 2022 could potentially pass I’m kinda stressing about it

Did you openly declare it on your vetting form or try to hide it ?

 

[indomie]

I haven’t done it yet I’m planning to declare it my question is would having that unspent conviction be motive for failing

 

[SnappleJ]

There is a section that you fill out if you have convictions.

I dont think drink driving will not affect your vetting, but to be sure contact the onboarding team.
