    Probably, you may need to get extra checks, medicals etc, but I know people who have received a WHV for drunk driving offence.

    I don't think they publish what offences visas get granted for.

    Mellor next time your down Bondi Rd could you let me know if 118 Bondi Rd opposite the Waverly Oval is still for sale?

    To the Op in cases like this your best bet is to apply and state the offence. If they say no they say no.

    Best of luck with it

    Yeah, and it was so off topic and stupid of me to mention it in response to someone accidentally saying their friend got a visa for Australia for committing a crime. I feel like such an idiot...

    who mentioned accidentally getting a visa? You can get a visa with offences.

    You said he got it "for" the drunk driving offence, not with, or despite. That's where mine and Zambia's joking came from... I feel like I'm narrating this thread.
