Examining Aspects of Family Violence Intervention Orders for Children and Young Adults: Stage 1 Issues Paper released

The Victorian Law Reform Commission have released the Issues paper for Stage 1 of the Community Law Reform project, Examining Aspects of Family Violence Intervention Orders for Children and Young Adults.

Stage 1 of this project considers whether reforms are needed in Victoria to ensure that children continue to have the protection of a FVIO when they turn 18 unless orders are varied, revoked or discharged.

We are interested in hearing from children and young adults with lived experience of family violence and the FVIO system, or people who have supported someone with lived experience. Professionals and other organisations who assist victim survivors of family violence or who work in the court system are also invited to make a submission as are other members of the community with an interest in this topic.

Submissions to the Issues paper are open until the 17th of April 2025. Further details on how to make a submission are available in the Issues paper.
