New Laws :: Family Violence. Victoria has had enough.

The Victorian Government has introduced new laws to better protect the community from family violence and make those responsible more accountable for their actions.

The new laws cover all types of family violence and a wide range of family and family-like relationships.

If you, or someone you know, are experiencing family violence in any form, it’s now easier to say ‘enough’


A copy of the Family Violence Protection Act is available for download.

There are also a range of tools, such as a Quick Find Chart and a Comparison Table, to assist practitioners to navigate the new laws. These materials can be accessed from the Department of Justice website.
