Being in NSW it's really up to the discretion of the cop. It's still criminalised and only has maximum sentences.

In NSW, if you are found guilty of
possessing or using cannabis, you could
get a fine of up to $2,200, and/or other
penalties including community service
work or a term in prison of up to 2 years.
These penalties apply to both adults and
young people aged between 10 and 18
years.

For growing, importing or selling cannabis,
the penalties are more severe. The severity
of the penalty depends on the amount of
cannabis, if it was being sold, and if you
have prior convictions.

Supply

”Supply” is defined in the legislation to include a wide range of conduct: selling, giving away, agreeing to supply or (technically) sharing pot is classed as supply.

”Supply” also includes being in possession of a quantity of drug which is “deemed” to be intended for supply. In a deemed supply case, you must prove in court that the possession was for reasons other than supply (for example, personal use). In the case of cannabis, the deemed supply amount is 300 grams.

Cultivation

It is an offence to cultivate cannabis. Cultivation means some activity to assist growing or harvesting. It includes planting or watering or fertilising. Even growing one cannabis seedling is an offence.
It is also an offence to possess cannabis plants (which has the same maximum penalty as cultivation).
There are higher penalties - and trial by judge and jury - for cultivating or possessing more than 250 plants. Cases involving fewer than 250 plants are heard by a magistrate in the Local Court.

Penalties
The quantity of drugs involved determines both the maximum penalty for the offence, and whether the case is heard in the Local Court or the District Court.
The maximum penalty for use or possession is a fine of $2,200 and/or 2 years jail.
The maximum penalty for supply or cultivation depends on the quantity involved. As an example, the maximum penalty for the supply of 400 grams is a fine of $11,000 and/or 2 years jail. The maximum penalty for cultivating or possessing 300 plants is a fine of $385,000 and/or 15 years jail.
These are maximum penalties – the actual penalty imposed will usually be considerably less, especially for a first offender.
For people with little or no criminal record, the penalty for possession of small quantity of pot might be to have “no conviction recorded” (a “section 10”) - or alternatively, a fine of several hundred dollars. For cultivation of a few plants: a fine or a good behaviour bond.
If larger quantities are involved, or you have more of a record, or if you are convicted of supply or cultivation, you can expect higher penalties.

From what I've heard, the minimum amount of plants needed before they will throw you in jail is 50, but as you can see they can still legally throw you in jail for just use or posession.
