What is a disqualifying offence?

(1) A disqualifying offence is –

(a) an offence against a provision of an Act mentioned in schedule 4 or 5, column 1, subject to any qualification relating to the provision mentioned opposite in column 3; or

(b) an offence of counselling or procuring the commission of an offence of a kind mentioned in paragraph (a); or

(c) an offence of attempting, or of conspiring, to commit an offence of a kind mentioned in paragraph (a); or

(d) an offence that has, as an element, intention to commit an offence of a kind mentioned in paragraph (a); or

(e) an offence that, at the time it was committed was an offence of a kind mentioned in paragraph (a); or

(f) an offence under a law of another jurisdiction that, if it had been committed in Queensland, would have constituted an offence mentioned in paragraph (a) to (e).

Despite subsection (1), an offence is not a disqualifying offence if the offence was committed, or is alleged to have been committed, by a person when the person was a child.

However, if the conduct constituting or alleged to constitute an offence occurs between 2 dates, the first on which the person was a child and the second on which the person was an adult, the conduct is taken to occur when the person was an adult.
