Domestic & Family Violence

What Is It?

Domestic and family violence takes many forms, including physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse. Recently, there have been changes in the law that can more quickly protect those who suffer from abuse. Sometimes, you might not realise you are in an abusive relationship.  The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia provides information at this link - https://www.fcfcoa.gov.au/fl/fv/overview
