Domestic Violence Legal Support – Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is domestic violence?
Domestic violence involves behaviours that are controlling, coercive, or abusive within family or intimate relationships. This can include physical violence, emotional abuse, financial control, social isolation, and psychological intimidation.
Q2: What legal protections are available for victims of domestic violence?
In Queensland, victims can apply for a Domestic Violence Order (DVO), which is a court order designed to protect you from further harm by restricting the perpetrator’s behaviour and contact.

Q6: What happens if the person who is subject to the Domestic Violence Order breaches it?
Breaching a DVO is a criminal offence and can result in penalties including fines or imprisonment. If the order is breached, you should contact the police immediately.
