Crimes Act 1961

Procedure - Bail

320B: Failure to answer bail

You could also call this:

“What happens if you don't show up when you're supposed to after being let out of jail”

This section of the law, which was about not showing up when you’re supposed to after being given bail, has been removed. It’s not part of the law anymore. The government took it out of the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 January 2001. If you want to know what happens now if someone doesn’t show up for bail, you would need to look at a different law called the Bail Act 2000.
