What is Family and Domestic Violence?

Family violence is any threatening, coercive, dominating or abusive behaviour that occurs between people in a family, domestic or intimate relationship, or former intimate relationship, that causes the person experiencing the behaviour to feel fear.

Violence isn’t just physical. Emotional and psychological abuse can be just as damaging.
