Can You Get Bail After Being Remanded in Victoria?

Yes. Being remanded in custody doesn’t end your bail options in Victoria. The law gives you a right to make a further bail application, and your first two attempts since being taken into custody can generally proceed without needing to show new facts or circumstances.

Applying for Bail After a Weekend Arrest

Yes, you can apply for bail even if you’re arrested outside normal court hours, including over a weekend. Police can grant bail directly for many charges, an independent bail justice can attend the police station, or for more serious matters, the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court runs a dedicated Bail and Remand Court from 10am to 9pm, seven days a week, including public holidays.
