Where this comes from
The official form is published by courts.qld.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.
When to use it
Use when a person applies in Queensland for a protection order. The forms index also publishes a guide, Form DV01A. Any affidavit or statement in support is prepared by the lawyer and is not set out here.
Used for these tasks
- Prepare the protection order application pack
- Build the incident chronology and evidence index for the protection order file
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may check the draft against the current official form and list what is missing; the lawyer settles every statement that will be filed and signs or lodges the form.
AI may
- Check the draft is the current version of the form and list every blank field or missing attachment
- Index the documents on the file that the form calls for, with date and author
- Turn the court's published filing and service steps into a checklist for this matter
AI must not
- Must not write allegations, grounds, orders or figures in words that will be filed
- Must not decide jurisdiction, standing or whether a time limit has been met
- Must not sign, lodge or serve the form
- Must not draft, outline or settle an affidavit, witness statement or other sworn text
- Must not write the narrative of events that will be filed
The lawyer checks
- The current DV01 is downloaded from the forms index on the day of filing
- The application is for a protection order, and the parties and relationship are the lawyer's instructions
- The DV01A guide is used as the Court's published help, not as a substitute for advice
- A statement in support, if the Court requires one, is prepared and settled by the lawyer
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
