Ms Petit is also alleged to have dealt with $46,920 labelled proceeds of crime between April 2015 and May 2016.
She was charged on November 13, with the brief court hearing Friday not covering details of the allegations against her.
Ms Petit was previously linked to bikie Wade Yates-Taui, who has been sentenced to more than seven years jail over the 2013 fatal stabbing of a man in Queensland.
The model was reportedly dating Yates-Taui at the time, with two other men also jailed for the killing outside a Broadbeach apartment complex, The Daily Telegraph reports.
It is not suggested Ms Petit was in any way involved.
