Hannah Thomas, 35, was charged with hindering or resisting police and not following a move-on direction in a protest at SEC Plating in Sydney's southwest on June 27.
Her case is scheduled for a mention in Bankstown Local Court on Tuesday.
The activist and lawyer was among five people arrested. They were protesting outside an Australian firm reportedly linked to the manufacture of components for US fighter jets used by the Israeli Defence Force.
The arrests are subject to an internal review with external oversight by the police watchdog after Thomas suffered an eye injury requiring surgery.
Her lawyer Peter O'Brien has said she might permanently lose vision in that eye.
Mr O'Brien reviewed footage of the arrest and alleged a male officer punched Thomas in the face.
"The charge of resisting police could never be sustained as the police officers were plainly acting outside of the execution of their duties ... with brutal and life-changing consequences," Mr O'Brien said.
Police had misunderstood the law and unlawfully applied move-on directions, he claimed.
Mr O'Brien has also flagged a civil suit against the state over potential allegations including assault and battery, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, misfeasance in public office, and collateral abuse of process.
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden has previously said he did not observe any misconduct in the body-worn camera footage of the incident.Â
The officers involved remain on duty.
Protesters returned to SEC Plating on Friday evening for another rally, where a statement from Ms Thomas was read out.
"We owe it to Palestinians to escalate, to keep targeting companies like SEC Plating, which play a role in the F-35 global supply chain and enable genocide against the Palestinian people," she said.
Ms Thomas ran second to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the inner-west Sydney seat of Grayndler at the May federal election.
