Sydney's Trusted Criminal & Traffic Lawyers

After a Legal Aid refusal, we took instructions urgently and proposed strict, workable conditions: verified address, daily reporting, non-association with co-accused, and a curfew. We also offered a responsible surety (a person who guarantees a sum if bail is breached), accepted electronic monitoring if required, and filed proof of programme enrolments so Community Corrections could check compliance easily. We argued the case was weak and that custody at the end was unlikely even on a plea. The magistrate granted conditional bail. Bail is supervised release while the case continues. The client returned to study and counselling under close oversight.

A tenth disqualified-driving offence with three Community Corrections Order (CCO) breaches created real custody risk. We listed the matter for sentence quickly, gathered strong subjective material about employment, rehabilitation, and family reliance, and proposed community-based custody with strict compliance. The court imposed an Intensive Correction Order (ICO), which is a custodial sentence served in the community under conditions such as reporting, programme attendance, curfew, and work checks. No full-time jail followed. Regular verification of employment and treatment was built in so rehabilitation stayed on track and community safety was protected.

Client was taken into custody for allegedly breaching both bail and an AVO only hours after bail had first been granted, while facing serious domestic violence allegations. We prepared and argued a bail application outlining his personal circumstances, available support, and practical measures to manage risk. Despite the very short time between the initial grant of bail and the alleged breach, the Court was satisfied that continued detention was not justified and granted bail on moderate conditions. Bail was granted notwithstanding an immediate prior breach.

Conditions may include residence, reporting, curfew, non-contact, or treatment. Bail lawyers Parramatta tailor safeguards to address flight, interference, and safety concerns, then file material supporting why those conditions adequately manage identified risks.
