DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Domestic violence is a growing issue in our community.

Domestic violence offences are also becoming more common because of false allegations being made. Check out this page for more information...

AVOs can also be applied for without criminal proceedings, by police who consider the AVO is necessary to protect the safety of a person, or the person themselves.
