The 18-year-old was charged with recklessly cause grievous bodily harm in company, affray, and fail to quit licensed premises.
She received conditional bail and will face Wyong Local Court on July 29.
Inquiries are continuing and investigators are expecting to charge a further person in relation to the incident.
