Effect of spent convictions
111 Effect of spent convictions
The fact that an offence in respect of which a reportable offender has been found guilty becomes spent does not affect —
the status of the offence as a reportable offence for the purposes of this Act in respect of the reportable offender; or
the consideration of the offence as part of the reportable offender’s total criminal record for the purposes of section 53(3)(f), 61(3)(f) or 90(3)(f); or
the inclusion of information about the offence in the Register; or
any reporting obligations of the reportable offender; or
any protection order in respect of the reportable offender.
For the purposes of this section, an offence becomes spent if, under a law in any jurisdiction, the reportable offender is permitted not to disclose the fact that the offender was convicted or found guilty of the offence.
