Former reality television star and wellness influencer Sam Wood is set to appear before the Queensland Supreme Court on Tuesday to seek release from custody after a bail application was denied more than two weeks ago.
The 46‑year‑old Melbourne resident was arrested in Noosa on 4 October on domestic‑violence allegations that he choked and assaulted his wife. He has been held in custody since the arrest.
Wood’s lawyers filed a new bail application following the earlier refusal, arguing that he should be allowed to remain free while the case proceeds. The court will decide whether to grant the request.
Wood first rose to public attention as a reality‑TV personality before pivoting to a wellness‑influencer career. His recent legal troubles have drawn attention from both media and the public.
Domestic‑violence charges in Queensland carry severe penalties, and the court will consider the seriousness of the allegations and any potential risk to the alleged victim before making a decision.
The case will be heard in the Queensland Supreme Court, where the judge will weigh the evidence and determine whether Wood can be released on bail pending trial.
