Usually the only evidence you’ll need to provide along with your application is an affidavit (a sworn written statement from you) setting out the history of the family violence. Occasionally doctors’ reports or family violence call-out records from the police may be available and can be included, but they’re not essential.
The affidavit will need to state:
that there has been a family relationship
the history of the family violence
why the Protection Order is necessary, and
if you’re applying without notice (like the vast majority of applications), why the delay that would be caused by applying on notice would, or might, mean undue hardship or a risk of harm to you or your children.
