What happens after I’ve been charged?

Your case will be listed for hearing in court where your charges are determined by a Magistrate or a Judge, depending on the type of charges.

You will be notified of your hearing date:

•    When you receive your charge sheet on leaving the police station. If you have been bailed from a police station, you will usually be given a copy of the charges and your bail conditions will state when you will need to appear in court.

•    When you receive a summons at a later date which will state the charges and the date you will need to appear at court.

•    If you have not been released from custody after being charged, contact our office to discuss making an application for bail.  For more information regarding bail applications click here.
