Domestic Violence Applications

Understanding Domestic Violence Applications

A Domestic Violence Protection Order is a court order that sets out rules to protect a person from violence, threats, harassment, or intimidation. Applications may be made by:

The person experiencing domestic violence.
The police on someone’s behalf.
An authorised person, such as a lawyer or support worker.

A DVO can place restrictions on the respondent’s behaviour, such as preventing contact, limiting communication, or requiring them to stay away from certain places.

Experiencing or being threatened with domestic violence can be frightening and overwhelming. In these situations, taking swift legal action is essential to ensure safety and protection. A Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVO) can provide the security you and your family need.
