Numerous bus routes run along Victoria Road with stops close to the courthouse. The nearest train stations are West Ryde and Meadowbank, both a short bus or taxi ride away, as the court is not within direct walking distance of a train station, so allow extra travel time. For drivers, limited street parking is available nearby, but it fills quickly during court hours, so arrive early.
The court registry is open from 9:00am to 1:00pm and 2:00pm to 4:30pm, but you should aim to arrive early to clear security screening and locate your courtroom. When you arrive, check the daily court list — displayed on screens in the foyer and available online through the NSW Online Registry — to find your courtroom number. Your first appearance is usually a mention, a short procedural hearing where the charge is confirmed and the court notes your plea. Matters are not always heard in list order, so be prepared to wait. Dress neatly, turn your phone off before entering the courtroom, and wait for your name to be called. If you have a lawyer, they can announce your appearance, speak to the police prosecutor on your behalf and, where appropriate, ask the court to adjourn your matter to allow time to prepare.
