Information about the ban on private electronic monitoring for bail
From 11 June 2025, courts in NSW can no longer grant bail with a condition that a person arranges and pays for their own electronic monitoring device. If you have a private electronic monitoring bail condition, it continues to apply until it is removed by a court. The condition must be removed by 12 September 2025.
