Use the filter pills and the search box at the top of the Charges tab to narrow the list.
- Status filter: the pills (All, Matched, Needs review, Unmatched) show only charges with that match status.
- Text search: type in the search box next to the pills to filter charges by name.
Both filters work together and hide empty file groups automatically.
What each row tells you
Under the charge name you get the section the charge was laid under (s10(2)(b)) and the offence date where the charge document stated one. The row shows the offence database’s name for the charge rather than the wording on your document, so the section is how you confirm it matched the right provision.
To the right, Max Penalty, s651 and RC answer whether the charge can go up on a s651 application and whether it can proceed by registry committal. They are separate questions, and a charge can be open to one and not the other. Traffic charges add a Min Disq column.
The full fact sheet
Click any row for the full offence fact sheet, which adds bail, drug diversion, and the schedule and reporting flags. Where a charge carries a statutory floor, a Minimum penalty row states what the court must impose. A separate Parole eligibility row states a mandatory non-parole period, which governs when release may be considered rather than what sentence must be passed. Each states in the same sentence the condition it turns on, so a floor that bites only on a charged circumstance of aggravation, or only absent exceptional circumstances, says so.
