      Definition of Family Violence

      Family violence is a pattern of behaviour used by one person in a relationship to gain or maintain power and control over another. It can take many forms, affecting individuals in intimate partnerships, family relationships, and even in caregiving situations. Family violence often involves one person using tactics such as intimidation, coercion, manipulation, and violence to control their partner, children, or other family members.

      In Australia, there is a National Plan for addressing family violence. This is called The National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022-2032 (The National Plan).
