The Commission is considering whether reforms are needed in Victoria to ensure that children continue to have the protection of a Family Violence Intervention Order when they turn 18 unless orders are varied, revoked or discharged.
The Commission has prepared an issues paper to guide community discussion about potential reform. It includes questions to guide your responses. Download it from the link below. Have your say by 17 April 2025.
