Penalties in New South Wales (NSW) vary based on the nature and severity of offenses, ensuring a proportionate legal response. Ranging from fines to imprisonment, penalties aim to deter unlawful activities and protect the community.
The legal system also employs community service orders, good behaviour bonds, and license suspensions as alternative measures. Restitution orders may be imposed to compensate victims. NSW's legal framework is designed to balance justice and rehabilitation, ensuring that penalties align with the gravity of offenses, promoting a fair and effective criminal justice system.
Getting a Section 10 dismissal means that a person guilty of a criminal or traffic offence will avoid a driver licence disqualification and avoid a criminal conviction. This will also maintain the freedom to travel overseas and apply for and get jobs that require background checks.
Conditional release orders are sentences where if you commit further offences during the period of the order, you will be re-sentenced for the original offence. You may also receive a harsher penalty than was originally imposed.

Community Corrections Orders are sentences where if you commit further offences during the period of the order, you will be re-sentenced for the original offence. You may also receive a harsher penalty than was originally imposed. Strict conditions can be imposed as part of this order such as community service, so it's important to a have a lawyer from our team at Criminal Lawyers Group to get the best possible result.
An intensive corrections order, also referred to as an “ICO”, is an alternative to full time prison.
An ICO is considered a sentence of imprisonment with a criminal conviction where you don’t actually go to prison. You remain in the community with certain conditions. These conditions could include such requirements as community service, curfew and non-association.
Imprisonment or full-time custody means being sentenced to go to prison for a period of time. When being sentenced to imprisonment, the judge will set a full-term of the sentence as well as a separate non-parole period. The non-parole period is a minimum term that must be served in custody before the offender is eligible to be released on parole. Parole will be subject to behaviour in custody and fulfilling requirements of the parole officer.
There are many crimes that include maximum penalties of imprisonment if found guilty of the offence. However, imprisonment is a last resort penalty in NSW. That means a person must not be sentenced to imprisonment unless the court is satisfied that, having considered all possible alternatives, no penalty other than imprisonment is appropriate.
If you are sentenced to a period of imprisonment, you have been convicted of the offence. It will appear on your criminal record.
At Criminal Lawyers Group, we specialise in get reduced sentenced for our clients.
