Figtree's Nikki Kinloch, aged 28, was sentenced in Wollongong Local Court for supplying prohibited drugs and causing a controlled drug to be carried by post.

In August, Kinloch admitted to helping her brother Rian Kinloch attempt to import 194 strips of the opiate drug buprenorphine into Wellington prison, in the state's central west.

In court on Tuesday, Magistrate Claire Girotto convicted Kinloch of the charges and sentenced her to a two-year community corrections order and community service.

Magistrate Girotto acknowledged Kinloch was a "small link in the chain" however without that link the chain could not function.

She also agreed that Kinloch was essentially "casual labour hire" and not the mastermind behind the operation.

Kinloch's lawyer Rosie Lambert said her client was involved in the racket to make money and had since accepted responsibility for her involvement.

Documents tendered to court revealed Kinloch was in custody on unrelated charges when he organised for several female associates, including his sister, to send him the drugs during his five-month stay there last year, with the hope of making $77,000.

Ms Kinloch subsequently sent an illicit package from Unanderra Post Office to a resident in Dubbo on March 11 at Kinloch's bidding.

The post bag had Ms Kinloch's name, phone number and address listed as the sender.

The resident was then supposed to visit the prison, with the drugs concealed, to hand them to Kinloch.

But correctional intelligence officers who had been listening in on Kinloch's phone calls overheard him organising the delivery and alerted police, who intercepted the package as it arrived in Dubbo.

Police found a white Pandora jewellery box containing two small bundles of drugs wrapped in multiple water balloons.

In July, Mr Kinloch was sentenced to 10 months jail, with a five-month non-parole period. He will be released on parole in November.
