Your offending may have occurred as a consequence of your mental health state, your drug dependency or arisen in a domestic situation.
Following your instructions we can provide advice as to whether your matter can be referred to a specialist court.
The Magistrates Court has established specialist courts dealing with matters specific to mental health, drug dependency and offending involving domestic violence. These courts are often beneficial to persons, as they offer specific programs to assist with factors relating to the commission of the offence.
