Is an AVO a criminal charge?
No. An AVO is a civil protective order, so it is not a criminal conviction and does not itself give you a record. But breaching one is a criminal offence, and the conditions can significantly affect your life.

Depending on the charge and its seriousness, avos matters in Campbelltown are generally dealt with at the Campbelltown Local Court or the Campbelltown District Court. We appear at all of these and will advise you on where your matter will be listed.
