A woman has denied allegations she tried to murder two girls by throwing them into a river two years ago.
Hoda Elabady is accused of attempting to drown the children in the Georges River at Liverpool, in Sydney's south west, on September 11, 2023.
Police rushed to assist the 38-year-old when they were called to the area about 10.30am and found she had fallen from the Light Horse Bridge.
She was treated by paramedics before being rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
The two girls were pulled from the river by a passer-by more than two hours later.
Police allege Elabady intentionally threw the children into the water before falling off the bridge.
She faced Campbelltown Local Court on Wednesday to plead not guilty to two charges of attempting to drown a person with intent to murder.
The 38-year-old will appear before the NSW District Court in October to be arraigned before a trial date can be set.
It is unlikely she will face a trial until 2026.
Elabady was arrested on November 27, 2024 after she was released from hospital.
She remains on bail under strict conditions including that she surrender her passport and not approach any international point of departure.
The 38-year-old is subject to a night-time curfew and must regularly report to police.
