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.
