After your hearing

Understand the result of your hearing

After your hearing, you may need help to understand the result or outcome, and what will happen next.

Speak with your lawyer or legal representative.

If you require support, visit the Legal and support services page to find services that may be able to help you.

The Bendigo Law Courts staff cannot give you legal advice. They can explain court processes and procedures, and provide information about services that can give you legal advice.
