The charge related to the fatal shooting of a 52-year-old-man at a home on Murrumbateman Road on Monday night. The victim has been confirmed as her partner, Mark Vella.
Magistrate Geraldine Beattie made a final order for a forensic procedure application. She told the court samples and photos had already been taken by police with Vella's consent.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Anthony Coleman said the forensic application included a swab of the accused's hands in relation to gunshot residue.
Defence solicitor Jacqueline Gore entered an application for her client to receive "urgent psychiatric and psychological assistance" in addition to medical assistance in relation to a previous cancer diagnosis.
Bail was not applied for and as a result formally refused.
Vella will reappear at Goulburn Local Court on October 6 with a brief to be served to the court.
