If you tell your prosecutor or WAS officer that you’d like to be kept up-to-date on your matter (not everyone wants to know), they will tell you of:

• a decision to start a prosecution (and the charges laid)

• a decision not to start a prosecution

• the date and place any charges are to be heard

• the outcome of any bail proceedings

• plea negotiations

• the outcome of proceedings, including appeals.

To get more information about your case, call or email the CDPP <prosecutor hyperlink>. [Link to a list of phone numbers.] If you don’t know who this is, call the CDPP office in your state or territory and ask to speak to the prosecutor concerned. 

• If you can tell us the name of the accused when you call this will help us identify the prosecutor involved in your case.

• The police officer involved in your case might also be able to answer any questions you have. If the WAS is involved, contact your support worker.
