AVO  – Apprehended Violence Order

An AVO, or Apprehended Violence Order, is a court issued order against an individual because another person fears for their safety. The order is designed to protect against further violence, intimidation or harassment. Douglass & Ford can help in the following circumstances:

• You have been served with an AVO or ADVO and are unsure of what it means or what you need to do. We can explain your right to contest the order, and provide representation at Court on your behalf.
• You have fears for your safety or have been a victim of physical, sexual or psychological abuse. We can provide you with legal advice and help with lodging an AVO or ADVO. Find out more about the two types of AVOs here.
