Intervention orders are used in situations where an individual seeks legal protection from another person who poses a threat to their safety and well-being. These orders are typically granted in cases involving domestic and family violence, harassment, or stalking.
Our Focus
Here are some specific scenarios when intervention orders might be used:
- Domestic and Family Violence: To protect a victim from a family member who has committed acts of violence or poses a threat of violence.
- Harassment and Stalking and Online: To prevent a person from harassing, stalking, or intimidating another individual.
- Threats and Verbal Abuse: To stop someone from making threats, derogatory remarks, or engaging in verbal abuse.
- Property Damage: To prevent an individual from damaging property belonging to the victim.
If you are impacted by any of the above incidents, you may need an intervention order, as the Applicant or Respondent, protecting your rights and obligations are vital. Intervention orders play a critical role in protecting individuals from harm and ensuring their safety. They are legally binding orders issued by a court to prevent an individual from engaging in specific harmful behaviours toward another person.
These orders are legal orders used to safeguard individuals from harm and create a safer environment.
