Diversionary Applications


A diversionary outcome can be an effective way to resolve a criminal matter without proceeding to a formal conviction. For eligible cases, diversion allows a person to acknowledge the offence and complete conditions set by the court, often resulting in the matter being dismissed upon successful completion.

At Armstrong Legal, our experienced ACT criminal lawyers regularly assist clients in seeking diversionary outcomes and work to achieve results that minimise the long-term impact of a charge.

What Is a Diversionary Application?

A diversionary application is a request for the court to deal with a matter in a way that avoids a formal conviction or through a process that is not part of normal criminal law proceedure. It is generally considered for less serious offences and where the court is satisfied that diversion is appropriate in the circumstances.

How Armstrong Legal Can Help

  • Assessing eligibility for diversion
  • Preparing strong diversionary applications
