Ancillary Orders
In Victoria, courts have the power to make ancillary orders in addition to imposing a sentence for a criminal offence. These orders are designed to address specific aspects of an offending situation, protect the community, support victims, and reduce the risk of further offending. Depending on the nature of the offence, ancillary orders can impose additional obligations or restrictions on an individual beyond the primary penalty.
Ancillary orders may include matters such as compensation or restitution, intervention orders, forfeiture of property, disqualification from certain activities (such as driving), or orders limiting contact with particular individuals. Understanding the potential for these orders is an important part of assessing the overall consequences of a criminal charge.
