Unfitness Hearing for People with Cognitive Disabilities in Australia

In this outcome, a person with a disability is judged to be unfit to stand trial, and avoids conviction. Since the determination of someone's fitness to stand trial would need to be elevated to a higher court, this process could take at least a year. During this process, the person with a disability would either be remanded or placed in a secure residential facility under supervision.
