What Is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence refers to abusive behaviour between people in an intimate or formerly intimate relationship.
It can include physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or financial abuse, as well as coercive control or threats. In Australia, domestic violence is recognised across all states and territories as a serious offence with both civil and criminal consequences.
Domestic violence law often intersects with family law — especially when it comes to parenting arrangements, intervention orders, and safety planning.
