The journey to safety and stability can feel overwhelming

Experiencing domestic and family violence can be overwhelming. Our experienced domestic violence lawyers provide clear, compassionate support to help you take the right steps forward.

Understanding Your Legal Protections

The law provides important protections, including Protection Orders to help ensure your safety.

Understanding the Legal Framework

In Queensland, domestic and family violence is governed by the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act.

To obtain a Protection Order, the Court must be satisfied that:

  • A relevant relationship exists
  • An act of domestic violence has occurred
  • An order is necessary or desirable for protection

Domestic violence includes:

  • Physical or sexual abuse
  • Emotional or psychological abuse
  • Coercive or controlling behaviour
  • Economic abuse
  • Threats, intimidation, or surveillance
