Victoria will overhaul its strict bail laws amid growing calls for reform from MPs and legal rights groups.
Attorney-General Jaclyn Symes confirmed on Wednesday that legislative changes for bail were currently being discussed but stopped short of detailing what the review would entail.
"It's all about getting the balance right between community safety, ensuring that serious offenders are kept away from the public but recognising some of our most vulnerable people in the community can be caught up unnecessarily in the justice system," she told reporters.
"I'll have more to say once I've gone through proper processes."
It comes as coroner Simon McGregor prepares to release findings next week into the death of Indigenous woman Veronica Nelson.
The 37-year-old died in her cell at the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre in January 2020 after being arrested three days earlier on suspicion of shoplifting and denied bail.
It was reported by The Age on Tuesday that Mr McGregor will find Ms Nelson's death was preventable and she was treated cruelly and inhumanely.
Among his recommendations is expected to be a call to reform Victoria's bail laws.
