Apprehended Domestic Violence Order Variation or Revocation (Applicant) - PINOP Application

Jurisdiction: New South Wales Local Court. This is a specific fork of the parent variation plan, tailored for protected person applicants.

The Process at a Glance: The practitioner conducts a private intake to assess coercion risks and client safety. The application to vary or revoke is drafted to address safety factors under section 17(2). The practitioner checks the ages of all protected persons, securing mandatory consent for those over 16. Representations are submitted to the police Domestic Violence Liaison Officer to seek consent. If the police agree, they may file the variation under section 73, avoiding a contested hearing.

Key Legislation and Case Law: Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007 (NSW): s 72 (standing), s 73 (power to vary), s 74 (consent of multiple protected persons), s 17(2) (safety and protection considerations), s 43 (silent address suppression). Case management follows the 4 May 2026 Practice Note guidelines, requiring Annexure B statement timetables.
