She faced Parramatta Local Court without a lawyer on Tuesday and entered pleas to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault.

The 34-year-old Sydney woman was arrested after the incident with her 32-year-old partner at a bus stop in Parramatta on Friday.

She was convicted and sentenced to a one-year community corrections order, requiring her to be of good behaviour. If she is charged with another offence in the next year, she may be resentenced.

The woman cannot be identified by name for legal reasons.

Australia's most prominent missing child, William Tyrrell was last seen at his foster grandmother's home on Benaroon Drive in Kendall on the NSW mid-north coast on September 12, 2014.

An ongoing police investigation and coronial inquiry has resulted in numerous searches and persons-of-interest but no charges being laid.
