VIC Remove expired AVO from record

[Axed29]

I had a false avo in 2016 against me. Not a single example of evidence was produced against me yet i was advised to accept the AVO (for 3 months) and did so.
I had my firearms license revoked with a 3 month window to apply to the court to have it reinstanted.
I did not do this and am now a "prohibited person" for 5 years.
Can i have an expired AVO removed from my record so i can re apply for my license? Thank you

You can make an .... 'Application to be deemed not to be a prohibited person' at the court that issued the IVO

Pursuant to Section 189 of the Firearms act 1996 >>>>> FIREARMS ACT 1996 - SECT 189 Application to be deemed not to be a prohibited person

Probably worth calling the court registry office first though just to check that the above is the appropriate form.. If not, hopefully they will direct you to the proper form/procedure

If application/form is accepted, then a court appearance most likely.... Court registry may have more detail
