Notes:	Comprehensive law reforms across most states and territories have created new legal regimes for protection orders, primarily focussed on increased victim safety and the needs of children living with violence. * enhanced emergency protections, particularly in relation to policing responses * specific provisions for conditions, such as exclusion and tenancy orders in some jurisdictions. Provisions which provide a framework for ‘good practice’ can be cherry-picked from the recent law reform agenda. However, lasting and substantial improvements to the legal framework for protection in Australia will also require that: 1) post-separation abuse, and trauma to children, arising from child contact arrangements are addressed through family law reform; 2) practice, implementation and systemic issues are monitored and remedied, where necessary; and 3) funding for legal and victim advocacy is enhanced to facilitate access to justice.
