Intervention Orders
Whether an order has been made against you or you need protection, we can help.
If an order has been made against you
Breaching an Intervention Order is a criminal offence, even if you thought the breach was minor or unintentional. The courts take any breach seriously, and a breach charge can make bail much harder to get.
We can advise whether the order can be contested if it was made incorrectly, or varied to better suit your circumstances, for example to allow contact with your children.
If you need protection
If someone has been, or may become, abusive towards you, you can report it to police by phone or at a police station. Police will decide whether to issue an Interim Intervention Order to protect you.
If police decide not to, you can apply directly to the Court. There are requirements your application must meet, and we can help you prepare it, or respond to an application made against you.
