Amy Tossoun appeared in Mansfield Magistrates' Court today over charges relating to an alleged drink spiking incident at Mount Buller.

The prosecutors and defence lawyers called for a diversion plan to be put in place, but magistrate Amina Bhai said the offences were too serious for a diversion.

A well-known Melbourne socialite has faced a regional Victorian court charged with spiking a drink at a party at the Mount Buller ski resort.

Amy Tossoun, 34, faced the Mansfield Magistrates' Court today over offences related to an alleged drink spiking in July last year.

She did not enter a plea regarding charges of possessing an amphetamine and introducing a drug of dependence into the body of a person.

Prosecutor Sergeant Karen Knotley told the court that on July 26, 2025, Ms Tossoun and the alleged victim met up with other friends for dinner at the Black Cockatoo restaurant at Mount Buller.

The court heard that after dinner and drinks both groups went to the nearby Kooroora Hotel after 10pm.

Sergeant Knotley told the court the CCTV footage from the club showed that later that evening, Ms Tossoun approached the bar with the alleged victim and another witness.

The alleged victim was hugged by a different person, who turned her away from the bar she was standing at and then was led to a dance floor.

The court heard that CCTV at the club showed Ms Tossoun place the amphetamine into one of the drinks before mixing it with a straw, and then later gave the drink to the alleged victim.

She sipped the drink the accused had given her, thought it tasted strange, then attempted to improve the taste by adding more lime, later asking for more soda to be added.

Later that evening, the alleged victim left the hotel, walked back to their chalet, and started to feel unwell, the court heard.

"She was experiencing extreme dizziness and thought that she was going to faint," Sergeant Knotley told the court.

The court heard the local medical centre was called but there was no answer.

Ambulance paramedics later attended, taking the alleged victim to Mansfield District Hospital in the early hours of July 27.

The alleged victim later tested positive for MDMA, the court heard.

Sergeant Knotley told the court that when Ms Tossoun was interviewed by police, she had a small bag of MDMA in her jacket pocket and said she had placed it in her own drink.

She also told police that the table she was sitting at had a lot of drinks on it, and that if she took the wrong drink the incident was unintenti
