What country were you charged in?
What date did your probation end?
Were you ever fined or ever jailed?
What country are you a citizen of, and which country are you coming from?
I'd have to look up Australia law, but other countries usually ask for full police record for all places lived for the past five years. Sometimes it is ten.
Canada, for example, makes its decisions based upon what you would have been charged with and what your potential sentence could have been if you had committed the crime in Canada.
The amount of time since the penalty/sentence is completed is more important than the date of conviction. Also, there are varying definitions of 'rehabilitation' to prove you are not a danger to society. Some are time dependent, some are dependent on completing rehab programs. Details vary depending on the severity of the crime.
I suspect that Australia uses a similar model, although details will vary.
