Point of Contact: Children, Family and Domestic Violence and the Law - Book 7

As Book 7 of the Point of Contact training resource series developed under an Australian Government Initiative, this document provides practitioners with an overview of the legal and statutory frameworks relevant to children living with family and domestic violence in Australia. It explains how Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation intersects when responding to children, covering key areas including family law, child protection law, and domestic violence protection order legislation. The resource clarifies the legal principles that guide decision-making, such as the best interests of the child, the concept of parental responsibility, and the court’s obligation to consider family violence when making parenting orders. It outlines practitioners’ mandatory reporting obligations, information sharing provisions, and the role of police, courts, and child protection authorities in securing children’s safety. The book also addresses common legal complexities faced by frontline workers, including how domestic violence is evidenced in legal proceedings, the impact of protection orders on contact arrangements, and the need to avoid systems abuse by perpetrators. Designed as a training module, it includes case scenarios, legal definitions, and practice notes to help non-legal professionals navigate their responsibilities within the legal system. Intended for child protection workers, police, family support services, educators, health professionals, and community sector staff, this book functions as a practical reference to ensure responses to children are legally informed, child-focused, and aligned with safety and accountability principles.
