Brief description

The Magistrates’ and Children’s Courts data included in this report was extracted from the Courtlink database. The data includes all finalised applications for Family Violence Intervention Orders (FVIO) in which the final hearing took place between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2016. This includes original applications as well as applications for variation, extension and revocation.



The analysis of the courts data looks at the number of applications heard in the Magistrates’ and Children’s Courts, the affected family members (AFM) on the application and the person responding to the order. On each application there is one associated respondent however, there can be multiple affected family members.
