Spent Convictions Act 2000

For this Act, the conviction of a person for an offence is extinguished if—

for youth offence convictions—section 19GB extinguishes the conviction; or

for historical homosexual offence convictions—the director‑general extinguishes the conviction in accordance with section 19D (Decision on application to have conviction extinguished).

In this Act, a reference to a conviction that is extinguished includes a reference to the charge to which the extinguished conviction related.
