Common Assault Offences
Section 61 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) makes common assault an offence, “whoever assaults any person although not occasioning actual bodily harm, shall be liable to imprisonment for 2 years”. Common Assault encompasses a broad category of offences where an individual intentionally causes another person to fear immediate physical harm.

Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm Offences
Assault occasioning actual bodily harm, prohibited under Section 59 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), involves intentionally causing physical harm that extends beyond mere discomfort or transient pain. This offence requires proof of actual injury or harm inflicted upon the victim. This charge involves intentional actions resulting in tangible harm, such as injuries requiring medical attention.
Given the gravity of the consequences, including potential long-term physical and emotional effects on the victim, the legal system treats this offence with significant severity. If you find yourself facing charges under Section 59, it is imperative to consult our Assault Lawyers promptly and seek legal guidance and defence.
Assault Causing Grievous Bodily Harm
Section 33 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), “intent to cause grievous bodily harm, A person who, wounds any person or causes grievous bodily harm to any person”. This charge involves intentionally inflicting severe injuries that result in significant harm or permanent damage to the victim. Given the severity of the consequences and the potential life-altering impact on the injured party, this offence is treated with the utmost harshness in the legal system.
