14 year old misdemeanor - Student Visa for Australia

• I just got accepted into a Graduate program in Australia and have to apply for a student visa. The program has a duration of 2 years.
  I was looking at the form and saw that they ask several questions about character, and one was about offences. 14 years ago, when I was 20, I got into some michief and over 2 months got charged for mischeif, and minor theft. I had to serve some community service, and have since never been in trouble with the law, nor arrested for anything. I am a Canadian / British Citizen by Birth (born in Canada, British by fathers heritage).
  
  What are the chances that my visa is going to be declined?
  
  Thanks
