Domestic and family violence occurs when one person in a relationship uses violence or abuse to control the other. This behaviour can include coercive control and non-physical forms like financial or psychological abuse, creating fear and severely impacting the victim's autonomy, independence, and safety.
A major issue in Australia, domestic and family violence can affect anyone, regardless of their background or identity. An estimated 4.2 million adults (21%) have experienced violence, emotional abuse, or economic abuse by a cohabiting partner since the age of 15.
