Apprehended Violence Orders
What is an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO)?
An AVO is a court order designed to protect someone from being harmed, threatened, harassed, or intimidated. It sets legal restrictions on another person’s behaviour to ensure safety and peace of mind.
There are two main types of AVOs in New South Wales:
- Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO): Protects people in domestic or family relationships.
- Apprehended Personal Violence Order (APVO): Protects people who are not in a domestic relationship, such as neighbours, colleagues, or acquaintances.
Each case is unique, and our team works closely with you to ensure you understand the process and your rights.
