A personal safety intervention order is an order made by a magistrate to help protect a person from physical or mental harm caused by someone who is not a family member.
The magistrate may make a personal safety intervention order if the respondent has done any of the following things to the protected person: assault, sexual assault, harassment, property damage or interference with property, serious threats or stalking.
Attending court for a personal safety intervention order hearing
The police will send the respondent copies of the application, summons and any interim orders made. If you are served with a personal safety intervention order, there are a number of options you need to consider. One option might be (depending on the circumstances) to try and resolve the matter by negotiation; that is, if the protected person agrees.
