A Personal Safety Intervention Order (PSIO) is a court order made in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria to protect a person from stalking, harassment, threats, or unwanted contact where the parties are not in a family relationship.

    Reviewing the Allegations and Evidence

    Anaki Lawyers carefully assesses all material, including:

    • Whether allegations are supported by objective evidence
    • Whether communication has been misinterpreted or taken out of context
    • Whether there is a pattern of conduct or isolated incidents
    • Whether police summaries accurately reflect events
    • Whether the proposed order conditions are necessary or excessive

    We identify whether the application can be challenged or negotiated.

    Defending or Negotiating the Order

    Depending on the circumstances, Anaki Lawyers may:

    • Oppose the making of a final PSIO
    • Negotiate reduced or practical conditions
    • Seek variation of overly restrictive terms
    • Resolve matters through agreed undertakings where appropriate

    Our approach is focused on protecting your position while resolving matters efficiently where possible.
