What if the intervention order is breached?

Simple and practical advice on collecting evidence

Women's Health West and Victoria Police collaborated to produce a short film that shows women how to collect evidence if their intervention order has been breached.

Intervention orders are issued by courts against perpetrators of violence to protect women and children who have experienced family violence. They outline certain conditions to increase the woman's safety. Unfortunately, intervention orders are frequently ignored and those conditions then breached, seriously compromising the safety of family violence victims.

This five minute film demonstrates safe ways of gathering evidence.
