Going to Sydney District Court?

Sydney District Court is a major court in New South Wales that deals with more serious criminal offences than those heard in the Local Court.

Located in the Sydney CBD, the District Court hears indictable offences that are referred from the Local Court after committal proceedings. Matters are typically heard before a judge, and in many cases, a jury.

Court proceedings generally commence from 10:00am, and all attendees are required to pass through security screening before entering.
