Mid Range NSW - Character References

I am representing myself and this is a first offence.
I am undertaking the Traffic Offenders Program which won't be finished by the time of my first court date, so I will ask the judge for an adjournment. Should I have my character references ready for the first court date anyway or I only need these at my final court date.
