Hi… I’m JJ Smith.
I’m the creator and editor of Moving to Australia and have been for 15 years! I know everything there is to know about New Zealanders moving their families and life to Australia. Either from first hand experiences and research or through the questions from visitors to this website… and I’m here to help!
I love helping people via Moving to Australia.
Providing the answers to questions we all ask when deciding whether to make the move from New Zealand to Australia. Even giving individual specific advice where needed.
I have learned a lot over the last 15 years from personal experience and through interacting with visitors. This is my job, making sure the information here is comprehensive and up to date.

Thanks for your comment.
I’m sorry to say, this is their standard reply.
In general, anyone who has severed over 1 year imprisonment is a behavioral concern and generally not granted an Australian visa. There are always exceptions to the rule, depending on individual circumstances, how long ago the conviction was and history since the conviction. Hence, being able to apply for an Australian visa.
Please note, I am not an immigration specialist and can only recommend from information I have obtained online.
You can ask the same question to IMMagine, for a small fee (AUD$15.00). You can post your question online, and one of the IMMagine team will contact you with your answer within 24 hours (usually same-day response): https://immigration.co.nz/ask-us-question/.
At least then you will have been advised by a professional.
Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
