The Kadina Magistrates Court on Graves Street sits as a regional registry of the SA Magistrates Court for the Yorke Peninsula. It hears summary criminal matters, conducts committal hearings for indictable matters, deals with intervention orders under the Intervention Orders (Prevention of Abuse) Act 2009 (SA), and handles civil matters up to the $100,000 Magistrates Court limit. Sitting days follow the Courts Administration Authority's published Kadina calendar at courts.sa.gov.au — typically several days a month. Indictable matters committed for trial proceed to the District Court of South Australia, which can sit at Port Pirie for Yorke Peninsula matters or otherwise hears in Adelaide at the Sir Samuel Way Building.

Family-law filings lodge at the Adelaide registry of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, and most procedural appearances run by audio-visual link from a Kadina lawyer's office. Engaging a local lawyer early keeps more of the matter on the peninsula.

Kadina legal help — FAQs
- What happens after I submit my enquiry?
- Most Kadina enquiries are routed to a partner firm without delay, including out of hours via our 24/7 AI agent. Bail, next-sitting intervention-order hearings, and police-interview support are prioritised in the intake queue.
- Which court hears Kadina criminal matters?
- Summary criminal and intervention-order matters list at the Kadina Magistrates Court on Graves Street on its published sitting days. Indictable trials proceed to the District Court of South Australia (sometimes on circuit at Port Pirie, otherwise in Adelaide). The Supreme Court of South Australia in Adelaide handles the most serious matters.
- Do you cover the wider Yorke Peninsula — Wallaroo, Moonta, Maitland, Yorketown?
- Yes. Our verified SA partner firms cover the whole Yorke Peninsula. Many matters are run substantially by phone and video, with court attendances reserved for the sitting days that matter.
- What if my Yorke Peninsula matter needs a specialist not based locally?
- We will tell you at intake. If a specialist area (large commercial work, complex personal-injury litigation) needs an Adelaide-based partner firm, we route there and the firm runs as much as possible remotely. We do not push Kadina enquiries to firms unfamiliar with the peninsula.
- Can I deal with my lawyer by phone and video from Kadina?
- Yes. Phone, email, and secure video meetings are the default for Yorke Peninsula matters. In-person meetings are available at the partner firm's office; the partner firm sets the mix at the start.
