Drug-related offences in New South Wales range from minor possession matters to more serious charges involving supply, manufacture, cultivation, or importation of prohibited substances. The consequences of a drug charge can be significant and may impact your employment, travel, and future opportunities.

Drug offences can include:

• Possession of a prohibited drug

• Supply, including deemed supply based on quantity

• Manufacture or cultivation of prohibited drugs

• Drug use or possession of drug-related equipment

The process can be complex, particularly where police rely on quantities, admissions, or search powers to lay charges. In some cases, alternatives to conviction may be available, such as Drug Court, diversion programs, conditional release orders, or treatment-based options, depending on your circumstances and criminal history.
