Breach of Intervention Orders Review
This two part reference from the Attorney-General considered:
- the maximum penalty for the offences of breach of a family violence intervention order, breach of a stalking intervention order, and breach of a police-issued family violence safety notice; and
- sentencing practices for breaches of family violence intervention orders under the Crimes (Family Violence) Act 1987.
As part of this review, the Council developed guiding principles for sentencing this offence. These can be found in Appendix 1 to the Council's Sentencing Practices for Breach of Family Violence Intervention Orders Final Report. We have also produced a stand-alone version.
