However, she faces more legal battles on returning Down Under Lawrence's father has described her as "a nervous wreck"

NSW Police said the 41-year-old was allegedly involved in a police chase using a stolen car through Enfield, Turramurra, Mooney Mooney and Peats Ridge on the Central Coast on March 26, 2005.

Lawrence was arrested a month later in Bali for trying to smuggle 2.7 kilograms of heroin to Australia from the tourist hotspot.

The heroin was concealed on her body.

Gosford Local Court issued two warrants for her arrest in June 2005, but she was in an Indonesian prison awaiting trial.

NSW Police said they were waiting to charge Ms Lawrence with several offences including stealing a motor vehicle, driving unlicensed and speeding.

She is due to return to Australia next week.

Her father told the ABC his daughter was a "nervous wreck" ahead of her release and said she wanted to live her life in peace.

Mr Lawrence said he was concerned his family could be the subject of intense media scrutiny when his daughter returned.

Mr Lawrence said his daughter had already paid "a very heavy price for her crime".

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it continued to provide consular assistance to Lawrence, who will be the first member of the Bali Nine to be released.

The Bali Nine ringleaders, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, were executed in 2015 and another member, Tan Duc Than Nguyen, died of cancer earlier this year.
