Non-Molestation Order
Experienced in dealing with complicated and sensitive matters.
As seen on
A Non-Molestation order is an injunction obtained through the Family Court
More commonly known as a restraining order, a non-molestation order provides protection when you have experienced domestic abuse from an “associated person” such as an ex-partner or a relative. They usually last for three, six or twelve months or can be until a further order is made.
The order prevents a person from molesting a person or a “relevant child” (which includes a child living you).
The Court considers all of the circumstances such as the need to secure the health, safety and well-being of the person applying for the order (and if applicable, any relevant child).

What types of behaviour can a Non-Molestation order prevent?
The types of abusive behaviour that a Non-Molestation order can prevent are:
- Harassment or pestering
- Behaviour which causes alarm or distress
- Violence or threats of violence
Recently the Court have confirmed that there does not need to be a positive intent to “molest” by the person doing the behaviours in order to satisfy the Court that a person requires the protection of a Non-Molestation Order. But this does not mean that the Applicant simply has to feel distress. The Court concluded that to be sufficient the behaviour has to be of such a nature that it justifies the Court intervening.
