Samantha Bausch, 28, of McCrae Street, Terang, pleaded guilty in court to possessing Oxycontin, amphetamine, Fentanyl and attempting to give drugs to someone in custody.
Police said that on April 26 Bausch took clothes to the Warrnambool police station for her boyfriend who was in custody.
Under the soles of Asics shoes, custody officers found three grey Oxycontin tablets, two ecstasy capsules and two red tablets.
She was arrested and found to also have 26 Oxycontin tablets on her and a Fentanyl patch.
Lawyer Amanda Chambers said Bausch instructed other people had given her the clothes to pass onto the man, who was now Ms Bausch's former boyfriend.
She said Bausch claimed she was unaware of what was in the shoes but she did not want to put herself at risk by identifying who gave her the clothes.
She said the man was still in custody but Ms Bausch had ended their relationship.
