Assault offences are governed by the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) and range from lower-level allegations to serious violent offences. An assault can occur even without physical contact, causing another person to fear immediate unlawful force may be sufficient. To secure a conviction, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that force was used or threatened without lawful excuse and that the conduct was intentional or reckless.
