Domestic violence is treated seriously by Queensland courts. If a Domestic Violence Orders (DVO) are made, it can significantly affect your rights and daily life.
What a Domestic Violence Orders can do.
A DVO can stop you from:
- Contacting the protected person directly or via social media.
- Attending their home, workplace, or other nominated places.
- Acting in a way that may cause fear or harm.
Breaching a DVO
Breaching a DVO is a criminal offence:
- First breach: up to 3 years’ imprisonment.
- Further breach within 5 years: up to 5 years’ imprisonment.
