Applying for an Intervention Order
If you are applying for an Intervention Order, contact your closest Magistrates’ Court and speak with the Registrar. Alternatively, if you have been exposed to family violence you can contact Victoria Police, who will attend and issue a Safety Notice until you get an Intervention Order.
More information about the necessary steps is available here: Magistrates’ Court Application for an Intervention Order.
In summary, to obtain an Intervention Order you need to establish that;
- There was abuse, family violence or a prohibited behaviour (Personal Safety Intervention Order); and
- That it is on a balance of probabilities likely to continue.
