Legal proceedings regarding various assault and domestic violence incidents have been recorded in New South Wales courts.

In late September, cases in Albury and Wagga Wagga involved allegations of common assault during a family dispute and charges of coercive control, stalking, and intimidation spanning several years. 

By late October, the Wollongong Local Court addressed separate incidents of physical violence. These included a case where an individual pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm after kicking a pedestrian from an e-bike, and another involving reckless grievous bodily harm after a physical altercation at a hotel resulted in significant facial injuries.
