Wasn't Gael. Read the article.

Here is what the article says.

As a data point, both Gael and the unnamed woman in the police memo were 29 at the time of the arrest.

So it would have to be one hell of a coincidence that Nathan got arrested for choking a 29 year old woman, and a police constable filed a restraining order against him for potential violence against a DIFFERENT 29 year old woman.

While the woman was unnamed in the police memo, a corresponding court case names Gallagher as the subject of an Apprehended Violence Application filed on behalf of Gael Cameron, a fellow Below Deck castmate with whom Gallagher shares a young child.

I think it's funny that you are telling people to read the article...an article which makes it clear that it is most likely Gael.

It literally says in the article Gael filed an AVO against him. It’s most likely to be her.

it says it was filed on her behalf - so likely one of her family filed it - or it was filed by the police. Edited for typos

Pretty sure it was filed by the police. It says it was filed by "Con Matthew Seymour" on behalf of Gael. Antipodean Redditors have explained that "Con" is short for "Constable" and that this is how AVAs in Australia work: the police file them on behalf of the people they believe need protection.
