FAQs

What is considered a computer crime in Australia?

In Australia, a computer crime refers to any criminal activity directed at computers, devices or information communication technologies. It can also refer to crimes requiring the help of a computer, such as fraud, stalking and harassment. Please note these definitions may change frequently due to the transitory nature of computer-based technology.

What is considered a cybercrime in Australia?

Cybercrime and computer crime are used interchangeably in Australia. This means whatever qualifies as a computer crime also qualifies as a cybercrime.

Keep in mind that cybercrime is a relatively new and constantly evolving area of the law. This is because internet technology is developing at a rapid pace. Please contact our legal hotline at 1800 888 228 to determine if your case contains a cybercrime charge.

What should I do if I have been charged with a cybercrime or computer crime?

Immediately get in contact with Repute Law to discuss your case with a Computer Crime Lawyer. Our experienced professionals can help you better understand your circumstances and build a robust defence for your hearing or trial. They can also support you with bail applications and variations.

What are the penalties for a computer and cybercrime charge in Australia?

The penalties range from 3 to 10 years imprisonment. Keep in mind this doesn’t include any additional changes accompanying the cybercrime charge.

What must be proven for the accused to be convicted of a computer or cybercrime?

To be convicted of a computer or cybercrime, the police must prove beyond reasonable doubt that an accused knew the access, modification or impairment was unauthorised and that the accused intended to commit or facilitate the commission of a serious offence by the access, modification or impairment.

What are some of the common defences for such charges?

Common defences for computer or cybercrimes include having the owner’s consent, having no knowledge or involvement in the offending activity or becoming an entrapment victim to someone else. Working with a Cybercrime Defence Lawyer at Repute Law can help you determine the correct defence for your charge.

What does the Court consider when I plead guilty?

The Court is obliged to regard your guilty plea, which entitles you to up to a 25% discount on the penalty. It must also consider the seriousness of the offending, current sentencing practices, any aggravating or mitigating features, your criminal history and character and your prospects of rehabilitation. A term of imprisonment should always be the last sentencing option considered.
