What Is Common Assault?
Common assault is an offence under section 61 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), carrying a maximum penalty of 2 years’ imprisonment. It is the least serious form of assault but can still result in a criminal conviction with lasting consequences. Importantly, common assault can occur without physical contact — simply causing a person to fear immediate unlawful violence is sufficient. Defences include self-defence, consent, accidental contact, and duress.
