When police apply for an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO), often
the first question that many people ask is whether the AVO will
appear on a police check.
Often people are concerned about the consequences of an AVO
being made against them.
As such it is crucial to speak to a specialist AVO lawyer who
can assess your circumstances and whether an AVO being made against
you can have any unforeseen consequences.
Does an AVO Appear on a Police Check?
An AVO is not a criminal charge which means it will not show up
on a police check.
However, if you breach the AVO and are convicted, then it will
appear on your criminal record. A breach of AVO can occur if you
contravene any conditions of the order.
