Concealing a Serious Indictable Offence is a crime under Section 316(1) of the Crimes Act 1900 which carries a maximum penalty of 2 years in prison.
To establish the offence, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that:
A ‘Serious Indictable Offence’ is one that carries a prison sentence of at least 5 years.
The maximum penalty increases to 3 years if the offence that you knew about carries a maximum sentence of more than 10 years by less than 20 years in prison, or 5 years where the relevant offence carries a maximum sentence of more than 20 years in prison.
