Belinda Anne Twaddell will be behind bars until just before Christmas after being convicted of three charges, including reckless wounding, in Wagga Local Court.

Twaddell, 37, was charged after a man, identified in court as her partner, was stabbed during a domestic incident at a home on Ford Street, Ganmain on May 23.

The 52-year-old man was taken by ambulance to the town's showground, where he was stabilised before being flown by helicopter to Canberra Hospital and rushed into surgery.

Court documents said Twaddell and the man, who had been in a relationship for about four years and lived together, were sitting around a small fire and drinking beer in the backyard when an argument escalated about 7pm.

Twaddell walked inside to the kitchen and grabbed a knife.

She then threw the kitchen knife at her partner from behind as he sat in the backyard.

It struck him in the lower back, piercing the skin and causing a punctured lung and internal bleeding.

The man went to the front of the house and called triple zero. Twaddell went into one of the bedrooms.

Police and paramedics arrived a short time later. The man was treated for his injury and Twaddell was arrested.

She resisted officers during the arrest and tried to run away but was eventually taken to the ground and handcuffed.

A crime scene was set up and a knife was found in the backyard, along with blood stains in the home.

Twaddell was charged with reckless wounding (DV), resist officer in execution of duty (DV) and contravene prohibition/restriction in AVO (domestic).

An AVO in place at the time of the incident prevented Twaddell and the victim from being in each other's company for at least 12 hours after drinking alcohol.

Twaddell, who pleaded guilty to all charges, appeared in court via video link when the matter was listed for sentence on Tuesday.

Her Legal Aid solicitor, Aakash Prasad, told the court she had a long history of alcohol and mental health issues, and wasn't taking her medication at the time of the incident because she thought she was feeling well.

Mr Prasad described the incident as "very reckless" and conceded a jail term was the only appropriate penalty.

However, he asked Magistrate Christopher Halburd to consider that the jail sentence be served by way of an intensive correction order (ICO) in the community.

Mr Prasad said the ICO could include conditions to aid Twaddell's rehabilitation.

The court heard her partner remained supportive of her and a letter of support from her mother was handed to the magistrate.

The court was also told Twaddell, who was intoxicated at the time, was remorseful for her actions.

However, Magistrate Halburd said he wasn't satisfied an ICO was appropriate given Twaddell's record showed supervision would not be sufficient to protect the victim or the community.

Magistrate Halburd said an ICO did not adequately punish Twaddell, did not recognise the harm done and did not send a message of general deterrence.

"The wound itself is a significant injury," he said.

The magistrate said the objective seriousness of the offence was not reduced because the knife was thrown and the incident was a serious example of domestic violence in breach of an AVO.

"She wasn't supposed to be having anything to do with the gentlemen when she had been drinking," he said.

Twaddell was convicted of the reckless wounding and AVO contravention charges and sentenced to 13 months' jail, with a non-parole period of seven months.

The sentence was backdated to the day of her arrest, meaning she will be released to parole on December 22.

Magistrate Halburd found special circumstances in Twaddell's need for rehabilitation.

She was sentenced to an 18-month community correction order, which includes a condition she abstain from alcohol and illicit drugs, for resisting the police officer.
