NSW Police charged 569 people across four days in a sweep “targeting domestic and family violence.”
More than 1,100 charges were laid, including over 400 breaches of bail and apprehended domestic violence orders (ADVOs).
A police spokesperson said the operation targeted “high-risk offenders who pose a significant threat to victims, family members, and other members of the community”.
Operation
Over the last two years, NSW Police has held nine state-wide operations targeting alleged domestic violence offenders.

Response
NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley said: “Those who choose to commit these violent acts should be prepared for a knock on their door and to face the consequences.”
In a statement to TDA, Shadow Police Minister Paul Toole thanked police and said it was “important” the operation was state-wide.
“Half of the domestic violence related assaults in NSW occur outside of metro areas,” Toole said.
