Intervention Orders

Sometimes a person needs to be stopped from engaging in conduct that threatens another person. This is where an Intervention Order can assist. Intervention Orders are civil orders that involve an application in the Magistrates’ Court either directly by the applicant, or with the assistance of Victoria Police.

The purpose of obtaining an Intervention Order against someone else is to protect you and/or your children, and to prevent any of the multiple forms of family violence from being perpetrated against you. We can help you determine whether there are grounds for an Intervention Order Application and guide you through the process.

At all stages, we take a pragmatic approach to resolving family violence issues in a sensitive way. We will work with you to minimise the impact on you, your children and other family members and ensure you feel safe and protected.

If an Interim Intervention Order, or an application, has been made against you, we can assess the merits of the application and help you explore your options to resolve the proceedings, either through negotiating Orders by consent, an Undertaking, or dismissal of proceedings. Breaching an Intervention Order is a criminal offence and has serious implications. If you have been charged with breach of an Intervention Order, we can advise you of your options.
