For Australia.
what was the conviction for?
From the relevant page dealing with 'eVisitors' (which are effectively electronic tourist visas):
"If you have had any criminal convictions in any country, you may wish to consider applying for a Tourist visa (subclass 676), rather than an eVisitor. If arriving on an eVisitor with criminal convictions, you could be refused entry into Australia".
Source:
http://www.immi.gov.a...sitor/obligations.htm

The Tourist Visa (subclass 676) page states "You must meet certain character requirements":
http://www.immi.gov.a...t/676/eligibility.htm

The First Working Holiday Visa page states "To be granted this visa you must meet character requirements":
http://www.immi.gov.a...eligibility-first.htm

Both of those pages link here:

Chris Thanks for the links I will check them out.
I doubt this will stop you from entering a country. I know the ins and out of the American system far better than the Australian.

If it was a conviction associated with violence or drugs then the authorities would be much more concerned.

I am surprised you were even charged with this offence. People normally get penalty notices for disorder for this.
