Notes:	Provides an overview of the law pertaining to Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs) in NSW, the legislative background to their introduction and other laws interacting with the operation and enforcement of AVOs, before presenting the Commission’s findings and recommendations for reform. The report addresses a range of policy, implementation and definitional issues, discusses the role of mediation in AVO matters, examines some of the problems that arise in the context of applying for an AVO and assesses the range of orders available, the nature of restrictions they are capable of imposing and their enforcement. The final parts of the report deal with procedural matters, such as use of affidavits, appeals and children’s evidence, and the relationship of laws prohibiting stalking and intimidation to AVO proceedings.
