Stewart, 24, was charged in March after allegedly assaulting the 17-year-old following the club's season launch at the Manly Wharf Hotel.

The former Test fullback has pleaded not guilty to one count of sexual intercourse without consent and one count of indecent assault.

Stewart was not at the Downing Centre Local Court today when his committal hearing was set down for February 4.

Defence barrister Clive Steirn SC told Magistrate Jane Culver he was no longer seeking to question the teenage complainant at the hearing.

However, the court heard that Stewart's lawyers want to cross-examine the psychiatrist who has treated her since 2007, about her medication and prognosis.

"What we need to know is the prognosis at various stages by the treating psychiatrist, both prior to the allegation and subsequent to the allegation, if she's still being treated," Mr Steirn said.

Ms Culver set the matter down for a one-day committal hearing, to determine whether Stewart should face trial over the alleged incident.

She also continued an interim apprehended violence order taken out against Stewart for the girl's protection.
