Centrelink fraud is a Commonwealth offence, not a Victorian one. It is charged under the Criminal Code Act 1995, prosecuted by the CDPP, and heard in Victorian courts.

In Victoria, breaching a community correction order is a separate criminal offence carrying up to 3 months in jail or a fine of 30 penalty units. On a proven breach the court can confirm the order, vary its conditions, or cancel it and re-sentence you for the original offence, which is where the real risk sits.
In Victoria, “assault” is not one charge but a ladder of offences. It runs from common assault, which carries up to 3 months, to intentionally causing serious injury, which carries up to 20 years.

Non-association can also be a condition of bail, a community correction order, parole, or an intervention order. Breaching any of these is a serious m
Aggravated burglary is a serious indictable offence under section 77 of the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic). It is a burglary made more serious by an aggravating factor, such as being armed with a weapon, or entering a building knowing or being reckless that someone was inside. It carries a maximum penalty of 25 years imprisonment.
