Tyler Jakovac's matter was heard in Albury Local Court on Thursday but he did not appear in person.

The 18-year-old faces charges of urging violence against groups and advocating a terrorist act or commission of terrorism offence.

Police allege he used the web service Telegram from October 19 last year until Wednesday to urge violence and the killing of "non-whites, Jews and Muslims".

He has allegedly used the far-right European Brotherhood group to urge violence against other races and religions.

The group features Nazi symbolism.

He did not make a bid for bail.

Jakovac had been arrested at his Albury home on Wednesday morning.

He will return to court in Parramatta on February 26.

Commonwealth prosecutors are involved in the case as it involves two federal charges, rather than state offences.

The court heard the case was moving to Sydney as the chief magistrate preferred terrorism cases be heard at Parramatta.

Lawyer Mark Rosalky did not oppose the case being moved or the 11-week adjournment.

Mr Rosalky asked that the Albury man receive mental health treatment in custody.

Magistrate Richard Funston said he could raise that issue with corrections staff.

"If you just make that note to Corrective Services," he said.

The court heard a brief of evidence would be served on Legal Aid's commonwealth crime unit in Sydney by February 18.

Mr Funston asked Mr Rosalky if his client wasn't applying for bail.

"That's correct Your Honour," he replied.

Mr Rosalky declined to comment on the case outside court.

Jakovac is in the Albury police holding cells.

Federal police involved in Wednesday's arrest appeared in court but Jakovac did not have any family or supporters appear.
