If you have been charged with assault you can raise self-defence if the alleged assault happened while you were trying to protect yourself, another person or your property. The actions taken to defend yourself must be reasonable & not disproportionate to the danger which you faced. Where self-defence is raised the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that you did not act in self-defence according to the law. If they are unable to do this you must be acquitted, & found 'not guilty'.
An AVO is an order from the court. AVO's are frequently taken out by the police to protect a person who is the victim of a crime.

If you are guilty of a criminal offence there are a number of penalties. You may receive a lifelong criminal record or be disqualified from driving for a traffic offence. A criminal conviction can impact your future employment prospects & your ability to travel overseas or obtain visas. In some cases it may be possible to avoid this by asking the magistrate for a section 10. A section 10 means avoiding having a criminal conviction recorded against you. We provide advice on section 10 for you.
