WINDSOR Courthouse has received state government funding to have an Audio Visual Link installed in the courthouse.
AVLs are used to hear bail applications from prison, testimony from remote witnesses and evidence from vulnerable victims.
They also reduce the need for prisoners to be taken from holding facilities to courthouses for what are often very brief appearances.
The state government has allocated $160,000 to install the technology in the Windsor Courthouse.
Member for Hawkesbury Dominic Perrottet said the AVL would save taxpayers millions by reducing the need for transportation costs of prisoners.
