In Queensland, a final Domestic Violence Order (DVO) typically remains in effect for five years, unless the court determines a different timeframe. The court also has the authority to extend the order if necessary. Temporary protection orders, issued prior to the final order, generally remain valid until a decision on the final order is made.
