Australian immigrants must know the relevant laws before going to Australia.

After new immigrants arrive in Australia, they should not only adapt to life, study and work as soon as possible, but also understand Australian laws. Some things that are acceptable in China may be illegal in Australia and even be severely punished. Knowing some basic Australian legal knowledge is helpful to immigrate to Australia and avoid unnecessary troubles.

Let's start with violence. In Australia, violence against others is illegal and will be severely dealt with by law. There are many institutions in Australia that specialize in assisting victims of violence cases, most of which are services to help women and their families cope with the threat of domestic violence.

The so-called domestic violence is a violent incident that occurs within the family or within the marriage relationship. This means that someone's behavior has caused physical and mental threats or substantial harm to the victim. Including: beating, sexual assault, compulsive behavior, compulsory confinement, deprivation of basic personal rights, etc.

For such incidents, all Australian States have hotline services to provide psychological counseling and legal advice to victims of domestic violence. The state government has set up special institutions to take care of the life problems of women and children who are victims of domestic violence, and at the same time provide help to those who want to change.

Let's talk about criminal offences, including assault, murder, sexual assault, violence against people or property, armed robbery or theft, sexual relations with underage teenagers, dangerous driving, possession and drug abuse, bribery or attempted bribery of public officials. These are all felonies.

Besides these, it is also a crime to possess weapons (guns) without a license in Australia. Every state and region has strict restrictions on the possession of weapons. As a new immigrant, you can call 000 when your or others' personal safety is threatened or infringed.
