Labor MP Emma Husar has announced she will take personal leave effectively immediately.
A New South Wales Labor Party investigation is underway after former staff accused her of bullying and harassment.
In a statement, Ms Husar said the last few days had been very difficult for her and her family.
She said she had received threats of violence in recent days and referred the threats to the police.
"I have written to the chief opposition whip to advise him that I will be taking personal leave, effective immediately," her statement said.
"I'm a single mum and my first priority is the safety and wellbeing of my children.
"The best thing for me and my family right now is for us to be out of the spotlight so I can access support."
Late last week, Ms Husar said she was horrified to learn of the investigation into her conduct.
Buzzfeed News first reported the allegations, suggesting Ms Husar had been responsible for harassment, intimidation and demanding staff to carry out personal duties.
