How Bail Works In Australia
Each Australian state has its own bail law. In Victoria a bail decision maker can require a deposit of money or a bail guarantee from another person, and must consider the accused's means when setting a deposit. It is an offence to indemnify a bail guarantor or to agree to be indemnified.
