Activity details
Introduce legislation to make electronic monitoring a condition of bail for people charged with certain serious domestic and family violence (DFV) offences. This will improve victim-survivors’ safety by reducing the likelihood that alleged perpetrators of serious DFV offences will approach alleged victims while released on bail.
