suggests that you have to declare any convictions and that if you say you have none you may have to prove it.

How much they will hold it against you I don't know - I can say that you wouldn't be allowed into Canada with a DUI.

There's a phone number to ring for advice. They would be able to tell you if it's worth applying. As it's not an official site you won't be giving anything away to the Australian government
You must declare your past convictions on your visa application, or you'll automatically be in breach of your conditions of entry if it becomes known later - that means they can detain you and deport you even if you haven't done anything wrong in Australia on the basis that you lied on your visa application.
