flag New South Wales enacts strict domestic violence orders requiring high-risk offenders to report new relationships, with penalties up to five years in prison.

flag In September 2024, New South Wales introduced strict domestic violence prevention orders allowing courts to require high-risk offenders to report to police when creating dating profiles or starting new relationships. flag These orders, lasting up to five years, apply to individuals convicted of multiple serious offences or charged with severe acts against relatives or intimate partners—even if acquitted. flag Modeled on organized crime monitoring, the measures aim to enhance survivor safety through increased accountability, with breaches punishable by fines up to $33,000 or five years in prison. flag The reforms include harsher penalties for repeated violations and an updated stalking definition. flag Officials emphasize the changes are vital for protecting victims and preventing further harm, with support available through national helplines.
