گاهی اوقات دستور محافظت از خشونت خانگی می‌تواند محل زندگی شما یا افرادی که با آنها در تماس هستید را تغییر دهد. این می‌تواند بازگرداندن وسایل شما را دشوار کند - برای مثال، اگر وسایل خود را در خانه طرف مقابل گذاشته باشید.

Not all Domestic Violence Orders have conditions that will stop you from getting your things, so you should get legal advice about your situation.

Sometimes you can ask the police if they can help you get your things.

Sometimes the court can make an order so you can safely collect your personal things, like:

• your clothes

• toiletries

• documents like passports, tax returns, birth certificates or other personal papers

• children’s toys.

You can get legal advice about this.

If you were in a relationship with the other person, the two of you may need to divide up your things by doing a property settlement.

You need to tell the court if you already have family law property orders, or if you have applied for family law property orders.

In each State and Territory, there are different laws about getting your stuff back from the other person. Choose your State or Territory below to learn more.
