The daughter of former NSW premier Neville Wran has been committed to stand trial for murder.

Harriet Langley Wran, 27, is charged with murder over the stabbing death of suspected drug dealer Daniel John McNulty in a Redfern housing block in August last year.

She faced Sydney's Central Local Court via videolink on Thursday where she was ordered to stand trial in the Sydney Supreme Court on November 6.

Wearing prison greens and with her hair pulled back she waived her right to a committal hearing, choosing instead to proceed straight to trial.

Wran is also facing charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and robbery in company.

Co-accused Lloyd Edward Haines, 29, and Michael Lee, 35, are facing murder, robbery in company and the more serious charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to murder.

Both also waived their rights to a committal hearing and were ordered to stand trial on the same date.

All three will remain behind bars until the hearing.
