Understanding Assault Cases in Rockhampton
In QLD, assault is defined as any act that involves striking, touching, or moving another person without their consent, or causing them to fear immediate and unlawful violence. This includes verbal threats, physical altercations, or situations where self-defence is contested. Assault charges can range from common assault to more serious offences such as assault occasioning bodily harm or grievous bodily harm. Each case is unique and requires careful assessment to determine the best defence strategy.
Consequences for Assault
Assault charges carry serious legal and personal consequences. Penalties can include fines, community service, criminal convictions, or even imprisonment, depending on the severity of the offence. A conviction can also impact your employment prospects, travel opportunities, and personal reputation.

Assault Law FAQs:
What should I do if the police want to speak to me about an assault allegation or if I have been charged with an assault?
If you are approached by the police regarding an assault allegation or charge, it’s important to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. You DO have to provide the police with your name, date of birth and contact details. You should NOT answer any questions, make any statement or participate in any interview with the police. You should be polite to the officer but insist that you want to talk to your lawyer. You have the right to telephone a friend, relative or assault lawyer.
Are assault charges public record?
Yes, assault charges and convictions generally become part of the public record in QLD, meaning they may appear in police records or court records. In some cases, employers or other parties may be able to access this information through background checks. However, there are legal avenues to manage or restrict public access to certain records, depending on the specifics of your case. Our team can help you understand how a public record might affect you and advise on any available options to protect your privacy.
