There are two types of intervention orders in Victoria – personal safety intervention orders and family violence intervention orders. If a person breaks the conditions of an intervention order, the police can charge them with a criminal offence called a contravention of the intervention order.
We understand the sensitivities with all types of intervention orders and respectfully represent clients both as respondents and protected persons or applicants. We also represent clients charged with the criminal offence – contravention of the intervention order.
We have specialist knowledge and experience in all types of intervention orders. We successfully help clients as either the applicant or protected person and respondent in PSIOs, and as the affected applicant, AFM or respondent in FVIOs.
We regularly advocate for people who have been charged with a contravene intervention order, or breach. We know the laws thoroughly and can help you whatever your circumstance.
For more information on intervention orders, we recommend checking out the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria.
