Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme

South Australia's Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme provides a way for someone to get information about their current or former partner, to help make decisions about their safety and the future of the relationship.

You can ask for information if you are:

  • someone who is feeling unsafe with their current or former partner, or
  • someone concerned about another person's else's safety.

You can apply online or go to your local police station.
