You can apply for bail with an Electronic Monitoring condition even if you already applied for bail without it and were refused, as long as it's for the same charges. You are allowed to make a new application for bail with an EM condition. This is permitted under the Bail Act 2000.

30R: Bail with EM condition does not affect entitlements under Social Security Act 2018, or
"Being on bail with an electronic monitor doesn't change your benefits."
30T: Defendant on bail (other than Police bail) with drug or alcohol condition may be required to undergo testing or submit to continuous monitoring, or
"If on bail with a drug or alcohol condition, you may be tested or monitored."
Nothing in this Act prevents a defendant, who has previously applied for bail without an EM condition and been refused, from subsequently applying for bail with an EM condition on the same charges.
