Notes:	This article examines some of the procedures that practitioners face in applying for Intervention Orders and in defending such applications. Intervention orders are aimed to protect a complainant from a risk to his/her safety posed by a family member (domestic and family violence) or other person (stalking). Gathering evidence when available or obtaining a detailed description of the events is usually performed in the client interview. Then, an interim intervention order is requested from a Magistrates Court Registrar of the Family Court. Around three weeks later the parties present their evidence in a formal hearing, which results in a successful or unsuccessful application, consensual restraining order(s), undertakings to the Court by the Defendant, or the withdrawal of the application. Some reforms for further discussion are proposed.
