Commonwealth Workplace Protection Orders Act 2025

An authorised person may apply to a court for an interim order if:

the authorised person has made an application (the related application) for a final order against the respondent under section 19; and

the related application has not been finally determined; and

the authorised person is satisfied that:

the respondent has engaged in personal violence; and

there is a real risk that the respondent will engage in further personal violence if the interim order is not made; and

the interim order is necessary or desirable to prevent the respondent from engaging in further personal violence before the related application is finally determined.

The application may be included in the related application.

The application must, subject to the rules of the court (if any), include:

all that is required under paragraphs 19(2)(a) to (f) in respect of an application for a final order; and

if the application is included in the related application—a statement to that effect.
