Gunshot victim and Sydney identity Fadi Ibrahim may have to wait a week to see if he's made bail but won't be forced onto a methadone program.

Ibrahim, 35, has made an application to the NSW Supreme Court to be released on bail, saying he is not receiving the specialist medical care or food necessary for injuries sustained in a shooting in June.

Ibrahim had his stomach and part of his oesophagus removed, and suffered nerve damage and several broken bones, when he was shot five times while sitting in his Lamborghini with his girlfriend outside his northern Sydney home.

Last month Ibrahim, his brother Michael and three other men were charged with conspiracy to murder 37-year-old John Macris, who has publicly denied any involvement in shooting Ibrahim.

After his life-saving gastrectomy, Ibrahim was placed on up to seven different medications and painkillers, and doctors told him he must eat eight meals a day, all the consistency of mashed potato.

He was also told to have daily vitamin B12 injections, and regular ultrasonic assessments and physiotherapy sessions.

Speaking via audiovisual link from Goulburn prison on Thursday, Ibrahim said he was not receiving the recommended specialist care and was surviving on a diet of rice bubbles, yoghurt and banana.

Worse, he said, his medication was due to run out on Friday.

"I've been told ... if I want medication, they want me to go on methadone," Ibrahim told the court.

"I can't go on methadone. I've got breaks (in many bones) ... it weakens bones.

"It's for heroin treatment, and I'm not on any drugs like heroin."

On Thursday, prosecutors conceded Ibrahim had not been receiving adequate medical treatment, and on that basis they said they were no longer opposed to bail.

Crown prosecutor Nicole Paul also said it was acknowledged methadone would not be an appropriate treatment plan for "someone without a stomach".

But on Friday the acting clinical director for Justice Health, Dr Stephen Hampton, said methadone was the first choice pain medication for prisoners.

Dr Hampton said it was usual to "substitute" other narcotics treatments with liquid methadone because its ingestion was easier to monitor.

Tablets, such as the ones Ibrahim is currently taking, can be too easily traded, or cut up and injected, he said.

Dr Hampton admitted that Ibrahim would not have received any physiotherapy since his incarceration at Goulburn, because the prison did not have the facilities.

He also conceded that a diet of rice bubbles, banana and yoghurt was "certainly not a complete diet in anybody's situation".

Justice Peter Johnson ordered that Ibrahim's full medical records be made available to the court before he makes a decision on his bail application next week.

In the meantime, Dr Hampton agreed Ibrahim should be allowed to continue on his current medication plan.

Ibrahim's lawyer Brett Galloway has said his client is prepared to live at home if granted bail, and would abide by a strict curfew, report daily to police and even post a $1 million surety.

The matter will be mentioned on Tuesday, with the bail application hearing to resume on Friday.
