Travelling to China / Hong Kong with criminal conviction from Australia

I can only answer you about the questions related to Hong Kong.

In practical purposes, Hong Kong and China are separate “countries” in terms of immigration. Australians may go to Hong Kong visa free so you may try to travel to Hong Kong with your passport. However, your criminal conviction, if found out by Hong Kong authority, is a deciding factor whether you will be allowed into Hong Kong territory.

Every visitor to Hong Kong needs to fill out an immigration card on arrival.

Getting a China visa on border is not an option unless you want to visit Shenzhen only. There is no such thing in China. I’m not sure if tourists are allowed to get a China visa in Hong Kong.

However, you may get around the Chinese visa requirement if you only stays in area where 72 / 144 hours TWOV is available, by flying direct from Hong Kong and fly back to Australia there.
