I was convicted of drunk driving 10 years ago when I was 23 (and stupid), and never got it expunged. Now I've been offered a job in Australia, but I'm worried I won't be able to pass the character assessment of the application because of the fact that the conviction appears on my police record. Can anyone who has been in a similar situation let me know what happened?

I'm sure if you of otherwise good character and the offense is a minor one you will be fine. If you caused a pile up where people were killed and served jail time - of course that's another story.
Note that there have recently been major changes to the 457 visa.
