Tyler Jakovac's matter was heard in Albury Local Court on Thursday, though the accused was not present.
The 18-year-old faces charges of urging violence against groups and advocating a terrorist act or commission of terrorism offence.
Police allege he used the web service Telegram from October 19 last year until Wednesday to urge violence and the killing of "non-whites, Jews and Muslims".
He was allegedly used the far-right European Brotherhood group to urge violence against other races and religions.
The group features Nazi symbolism.

Commonwealth prosecutors are involved in the matter as the case involves two federal charges, rather than state offences.
The court heard the case was moving to Sydney as the chief magistrate preferred terrorism cases be heard at Parramatta.
Lawyer Mark Rosalky did not oppose the case being moved or the adjournment.
Mr Rosalky asked that he receive mental health treatment in custody.
Magistrate Richard Funston said he could raise that issue with corrections staff.
"If you just make that note to Corrective Services," he said.
The court heard a brief of evidence would be served on Legal Aid's Commonwealth crime unit in Sydney by February 18.
Mr Funston asked Mr Rosalky if his client wasn't applying for bail.
"That's correct your honour," he replied.
Mr Rosalky was asked to comment on the case outside court but said he was unable to.
Jakovac is in the Abury police holding cells.
Federal police involved in Wednesday's arrest appeared in court but Jakovac did not have any family or supporters appear.
Police could be seen outside court with evidence bags, including ones containing camouflage gear.
