Yeah you should try the tenants association (Its called RTA in Qld). They'll be able to tell you want warrents getting put on a blacklist, and how to get off it. They MAY even know if you are on or not.

If you've been renting since, and had a good record, it should wipe out something you did 7 years ago - you can prove you've learnt from your errors and are much more responsible. But def call the union and find out what they have to say...

If you paid back the outstanding rent, that will really help if it is still on your record. Just explain the circumstances, say that you made sure to pay them back, and since then have had no problems.
Good luck,

Hmmm... Does living at a ski resort for 12 months or a cruise ship for 7 months count as renting??!
I've been living at home, so no recent rental record. I'll try the board and find out. Thanks ladies for your help!

If you have been paying board, or can show that you pay other bills consistently that can help 'prove' your reliability now you are grown up and responsible.

Yeah, if you have a phone bill or something to prove that you are stable and reliable in paying then all should be fine.
I can tell you are stressing about this... please don't. If anything, I would approach a real estate in person and say "look, I am looking for a rental property but I'm really scared that what I did when I was young is going to effect my chances" and let them help you. Most of them will be really understanding, I promise. If they're not... well you probably don't want to rent with them anyway!
