If granted bail, the person has to promise to appear in court when required. The person may also be required to abide by a number of other conditions such as:
• reporting to police
• residing at a particular location
• abiding by home detention conditions
• not approaching or contacting witnesses
• providing one or more guarantors.

In deciding whether to grant bail, a number of factors are taken into account including:
• the seriousness of the offending
• the likelihood of the accused absconding, re-offending or interfering with evidence and/or witnesses
• the safety of the victim
• any previous occasions on which the accused may have breached a bail agreement
• any other relevant factors
