Mr Kelly was transferred to a maximum security prison in Perth after a previous court appearance in November, during which he made no application for bail.
He is not expected to appear in the Carnarvon Magistrates Court in person.
The 36-year-old will instead appear via videolink from prison.
Cleo disappeared from her family's campsite at Quobba Blowholes in the early hours of October 16.
