Frequently asked questions

Domestic and family violence (D&FV) is the use of violent, threatening, coercive or controlling behaviours by an individual against a family member(s), or someone with whom they have, or have had an intimate relationship with, including carers.

It can be physical, emotional or psychological. Non-physical forms of abuse can be just as damaging as physical assaults and can include technology-facilitated abuse.

Technology-facilitated abuse involves the misuse of devices (such as phones, computers, tablets), accounts (such as email) and software platforms (such as social media) to control, abuse, track and intimidate. It can involve stalking - following, making excessive phone calls, texts or emails.

Economic abuse is another kind of D&FV - using finances and economic resources to gain power and control in the relationship (e.g., monitoring spending, restricting access to financial resources, and accruing debt). 

Whatever the abuse, it’s not your fault. It’s the abuser who is responsible.
