1On an application to vary bail under s 18AC of the Bail Act 1977 (Vic), the court may vary conditions where it is reasonable to do so having regard to surrounding circumstances including those in s 3AAA, adopting the framework summarised in Re Tiba (No 3) [2024] VSC 198.
2A breach of bail conditions does not preclude variation where the breach occurred in the context of significant trauma, was self-reported in a timely and comprehensive manner, and an appropriate alternative treatment facility is available that addresses both the accused's drug dependence and trauma.
