Domestic Violence FAQs

Domestic and family violence is abuse committed by a partner or family member. Domestic and family violence can take on many forms including coercive control, physical abuse, emotional abuse and control, financial control, sexual abuse, online abuse, stalking, and harassment.

For the full definition of family violence view the Family Law Act 1975 – Sect 4B here

Private domestic and family violence protection orders are official court-issued documents that can be issued without police investigation. In some cases, we recommend private orders 1) when police don’t want to take the case, 2) to lessen implications for the respondent, and 3) when children are involved.
