to make a police order, and the terms of a police order, a police officer is
to have regard to the following —

(b) the
need to prevent behaviour that could reasonably be expected to cause the
person seeking to be protected to apprehend that they will have family
violence committed against them;
(c) the
need to ensure the wellbeing of children by protecting them from family
violence, behaviour referred to in paragraph (b) or otherwise being exposed to
family violence;
[(d) deleted]
(e) the
accommodation needs of the persons involved;
(f)
hardship that may be caused if the order is made;
(g) any
similar behaviour by any person involved, whether in relation to the same
person or otherwise;
(h) any
other matter the police officer considers relevant.
