A Peace and Good Behaviour Order is a court-issued order that protects individuals from threats and threatening behaviours. It is applicable when someone’s behaviour causes you to fear for your safety, the safety of a person under your care or charge or the safety of your property.
You can apply by filing a formal complaint at your local Magistrates Court. The process involves submitting documentation and evidence, and attending a court hearing where your case will be reviewed. Our Peace and Good Behaviour Solicitors on the Gold Coast are here to help you navigate the legal process.
Evidence to support your application can include witness statements, threatening messages, such as emails and texts, police reports, photographs, or any other similar documentation that demonstrates the harmful behaviour.
Breaching a Peace and Good Behaviour Order is a criminal offence in Queensland. Penalties can include fines or imprisonment, depending on the severity of the breach and the circumstances of the case.
