New domestic violence laws started 1 January 2026 in Queensland.
Police now have the power to issue on-the-spot Domestic Violence Protection Orders, called Police Protection Directions (PPDs).

PPDs are made without a court application and stay in place for 12 months. They can include conditions like no contact, leaving a shared home, staying away from certain places, and cooling-off periods.

PPDs cannot be issued in certain situations, including where there is an existing protection order is in place.

If someone breaches a PPD, it is a criminal offence.

If you’re served with a PPD or have questions about what these changes mean, seek legal advice immediately.
