– Intervention orders Description
Intervention Orders
An intervention order is a legal court order that has the express intention of protecting someone through limiting the behaviour of another person. It may be to protect that person against physical or sexual assault or harassment.
There are two types of intervention order – a family intervention order and a personal safety intervention order. Intervention orders are made at the Magistrate’s Court. They can be an interim or final intervention order.

Defending an intervention order
If you need to defend yourself in relation to an intervention order, we can help. The prosecution must prove that first, an order has been made against you, that you were served with the order, and that you breached the order. Breaches are considered very serious offences, and if you are found guilty, you can face prison.
