The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme in NSW allows individuals to find out whether a current or former partner has what?

• A. A history of violent offences
• B. A credit history
• C. A medical history
• D. A criminal history of witnesses

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding that the NSW Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme is about safety risk by revealing whether a current or former partner has a history of violent offences. The scheme is designed to inform a person if their partner has demonstrated violent behaviour in the past, which helps them make safer choices. It does not concern credit history, medical history, or the criminal history of witnesses, so those options aren’t what the scheme is about. The key idea is that it provides information about a partner’s history of violent offences to assess risk and protect the individual.
