Disgraced former Australian cricket great Michael Slater has proposed moving states to seek treatment in rehab while facing a raft of domestic violence-related offences, a court has been told.

Slater, a former Test cricketer and commentator, is accused of assaulting and choking a woman during the alleged violent tirade, which lasted several months, as well as allegedly bombarding her with hundreds of abusive and degrading messages.

He has been in custody on remand since his arrest in April this year.

During a bail application on Tuesday, Slater’s legal team submitted the 54-year-old had secured a spot in a residential rehabilitation clinic in NSW.

Barrister Greg McGuire said his client would ‘leave the state completely’ to seek treatment if bail was granted – noting there would also be restrictions on alcohol and orders not to contact the complainant.

Brisbane Supreme Court was told a potential criminal trial may not be organised until 2025.

‘There is a very real danger he (Slater) will have spent too much time in custody by the time the matter is disposed of,’ Mr McGuire said.

‘The proposed conditions are he go to the Sydney clinic until such time as they are satisfied with his ability to leave.’

Slater’s fall from grace has shocked many sports fans in recent years (pictured, after plundering a century against England in the 1999 Ashes series)

Slater would live with his sister in regional NSW once this occurred, Mr McGuire added.

He said Slater was in the grips of a ‘terrible alcohol addiction’ at the time of the alleged offending.

‘He’s now faced the consequences of his behaviour….spending 4.5 months in custody,’ Mr McGuire said.

Slater is facing more than a dozen charges, including enter dwelling with intent by break at night, choking, assault occasioning bodily harm, stalking and breaching bail.

They are all alleged to have occurred between December 5, 2023 and April 12 this year.

Police allege Slater sent hundreds of messages to the woman where he called her a ‘c**’, ‘escort’, ‘liar’ and ‘sl*t’ several times and threatened to take his own life.

It is further alleged Slater accessed the woman’s CCTV camera on the front porch of her house on March 17, turning it around to face into her home.

The woman was allegedly alerted through an app on her phone while she was speaking to officers at Noosa Police Station.

Slater’s plea for bail was refused by Supreme Court Justice Paul Freeburn on Tuesday in Brisbane

Slater is further alleged to have smashed a window to gain access to the woman’s home and assaulted her by grabbing her arm.

It is alleged he also choked her on two different occasions.

Bail was ultimately refused by Supreme Court Justice Paul Freeburn, who noted Mr Slater had a history of domestic violence.

‘The offences alleged are supported by some evidence, and are sustained and persistence,’ he said.

‘The risk of further or continued offending cannot be ignored.’

Justice Freeburn said Slater had a long history of mental health conditions and had been diagnosed with ADHD, major depressive disorder, insomnia, alcohol use disorder and borderline personality disorder.

The court was told Slater had a criminal history for offences of obstructing police, common assault and stalking, among others

Slater had not been ‘constrained’ by prior protection orders imposed by courts, Justice Freeburn said.

‘It is difficult to be confident or have a modest degree of confidence he will comply with any bail conditions….even from Sydney,’ he said.

Slater will return to court in September.
