The courts take intervention order breaches very seriously. A breach can be constituted by any conduct that is in contravention of the conditions of the order. You can even be charged with breaching an order if you are alleged to have asked someone else to behave in a way that is contrary to the order.
For example, getting another person to email the protected person or even driving past the protected person’s house can be a breach if a person has been ordered not to go within 200 metres of the address.
If it is alleged that you breached an intervention order you will be charged and required to attend court. A breach can also be charged with other offences (e.g. Assault or Threaten to Kill) if other criminal conduct is alleged to have taken place at the time of the breach.
If a person has a history of breaching intervention orders, then it is likely that police will arrest and remand that person in custody.
The maximum penalty for breaching an intervention order is two years imprisonment.
