NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ORDER SCHEME ACT 2016 (NO. 53 OF 2016) - SECT 23

Power of court to vary or revoke recognised non-local DVOs

    (1)     A court may vary or revoke a recognised DVO that is a non-local DVO in accordance with this Part as if the DVO were a local DVO.

    (2)     A court cannot vary or revoke a non-local DVO if it is a kind of DVO that cannot be varied or revoked by a court in the jurisdiction in which the DVO was made.

    (3)     A variation to or revocation of a recognised DVO that is done under this Part is not limited in its operation to Victoria.

    (4)     This Part does not apply to the variation or revocation of a foreign order that is registered as a registered foreign order in Victoria.

    (5)     To avoid doubt, if a court varies a recognised DVO that was made in another jurisdiction, the other jurisdiction continues to be treated, for the purpose of this Act, as the jurisdiction in which the DVO was made.
