There are many jobs in our community that require employees to
maintain a licence, registration or check. Nurses, security guards,
teachers, migration agents, doctors, psychologists and lawyers.
Most jobs are directly or indirectly affected by the impact of
criminal charges on employment. Additionally, if you want to own a
gun for your shooting hobby or for use on a farm, you must maintain
a firearms licence.
Being in contact with police can have dire consequences on your
ability to hold each of these licences, registrations and checks.
If you are considering making an application and you have a
criminal record, it is vital that you obtain legal advice before
making any submissions. If you have received a negative notice or
notice of suspension, you should also obtain legal advice before
responding. We have helped clients make successful applications at
all stages, to reduce the impact of criminal charges to their right
to earn a living.
