Is self-defence really a defence?
Yes, and a complete one. If there is a reasonable possibility you acted to defend yourself or someone else, the prosecution must disprove it beyond reasonable doubt. Presenting the full history between the parties is often what makes it succeed.

Depending on the charge and its seriousness, assault matters in Campbelltown are generally dealt with at the Campbelltown Local Court or the Campbelltown District Court. We appear at all of these and will advise you on where your matter will be listed.
