Domestic violence orders to go national

Victoria is working to ensure state domestic violence orders can be enforced Australia-wide under a proposed national scheme.
State and territory leaders agreed to the scheme last year and legislation introduced into the Victorian parliament on Thursday means state orders can be included.
"This is the first step in ensuring domestic violence orders made in Victoria can be enforced in other jurisdictions and that their orders can also be enforced in this state," Attorney-General Martin Pakula said in a statement.
