A protection order is a legal tool designed to help protect a person from domestic violence. These matters are often urgent, sensitive, and emotionally overwhelming — and the process should be handled carefully.
When people typically seek protection
People may seek a protection order where there is abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, or related conduct covered by the applicable domestic violence framework. Every situation is different; if you feel unsafe, prioritise immediate safety and urgent assistance.
