Family Violence / Domestic Violence / Personal Safety Intervention Applications and Orders

​

There is a Personal Safety Intervention Order (PSIO) or Family Violence Intervention Orders (FVIO) but are often referred to as IVO's or DVO's (IVO).

 

You can apply for an IVO at any Magistrates’ Court if you are over 18 years of age. Intervention orders can also protect your children if you include them in your application.

 

There are two types of intervention orders that a magistrate can make at court. They are an interim order, which is an in the meantime order until a magistrate can hear all the evidence and make a final decision, or a final order, which is a longer term order made by a magistrate for the purpose of protecting a person. 

 

If the conditions of an IVO require a variation, then a protected person or a respondent can apply to the court to change (vary) the conditions of the order. A magistrate will determine whether a variation to the existing condition of the IVO should be changed.

Wherever possible, we seek to offer a range of fixed fees for a Family Violence / Personal Safety Intervention Application or Order.
