VIC Will Pleading Guilty to Infringement Appear on National Police Check?

[daniel14345]

Hi, I have decided to dispute a public transport infringement in traffic law court, as I believed I was wrongly fined. However upon receiving my court summons, the charge is 'did not produce a valid ticket'. Advice I have been given is to plead guilty to this charge and ask not to have a criminal conviction. But by pleading guilty, will this now appear as a guilty verdict on my national police check? I have just finished studying to be a teacher and if appears it will definitely hinder my employment prospects (and ability to work overseas). Has anybody had any similar experience?

Thanks

See the article : What a Traffic Infringement Means for Your Drivers Licence (QLD) - Legal Blog - LawAnswers.com.au
in regard to your traffic infringement.

As it is a minor offence it will more than likely not be put on your national police check.

On your court summons does it say you can mediate up until the court date? It might be best to just pay the fine plus court courts for such a low fine.
