Law reform and public affairs

Legal Aid NSW criminal law policy has been amended to incorporate the changes made by the sentencing reforms. The sentencing reforms abolish suspended sentences and introduce two new community-based sentencing options: community correction orders and conditional release orders, among other changes. The policy amendment applies to applications for legal aid determined on or after 24 September 2018. More information is available in Policy Bulletin 2018/11 Criminal Law Policy – Sentencing Reforms.
