You can apply directly to the Magistrate Courts for restraining orders in Perth and regional WA. However, to achieve the best possible outcome, we recommend that you first, speak to the experienced VRO lawyers at Savannah Legal in Perth.
We can assist you with preparing documents required for a VRO application, prepare you and build your case for the interim order hearing, in addition to any court appearances.
However, if you’re in a violent situation and need urgent help, please contact the Police immediately. Police officers will be able to assist you with any immediate concerns.
An Interim VRO in WA will stay in force until it becomes a final VRO, or is cancelled or dismissed by the court.
Final VROs against an adult can last up to two years, and up to six months against a child or young person.
You can request for an order against an adult to be longer if you can prove it is necessary.
A restraining order will appear on your criminal record, however it will be recorded by the court and on the police system. In some court cases, they may be allowed to know if someone has, or had, a restraining order against them. For example, in bail applications or family court proceedings.
