Under the AHRC Act, an employer can make a distinction against someone with a criminal record if the person’s particular criminal record means that they are unable to fulfil the inherent requirements of the job. Another way of putting this is that an employer can make a distinction against someone if the criminal record is relevant to the job. This conduct does not constitute discrimination under the AHRC Act. -

Equal employment opportunity for people with disabilities: how to move from the theoretical to the actual
I congratulate EOPHEA for organising this discussion. Although, of course, your focus is primarily on employment in the university environment, the conference program is clearly designed to address equal opportunity issues of much more general significance.
