This busy court sits just minutes from Parramatta CBD and railway station, making it easily accessible for western Sydney residents. For more serious criminal matters, appeals, or higher-value civil cases, you'll need to travel approximately 25 kilometres east to the NSW Supreme Court or District Court in Sydney's CBD. The Children's Court of NSW also operates from the Parramatta complex, handling matters involving young offenders.

Local matters typically begin in the Local Court, where magistrates handle summary offences, committal hearings for indictable offences, and civil claims. If your matter is serious enough to be heard on indictment, it will be committed to the District or Supreme Court in Sydney. Appeals from Local Court decisions go to the District Court.
