Ending Coercive Control, Family & Domestic Violence Conference

Keeping women & children safe through integrated, culturally responsive approaches to end family & domestic violence

 

On average, one woman is killed by an intimate partner every 11 days. Alarmingly, coercive control is a precursor in 97% of domestic violence homicides, highlighting the urgent need for systemic change.

So far, Queensland and New South Wales are the only states to have criminalised coercive control. South Australia has also committed to this, and has launched a Royal Commission into Domestic, Family, and Sexual Violence, signaling growing recognition and action on this insidious issue.

This conference provides a crucial forum for changemakers to collaborate and drive bold, transformative solutions. Together, we’ll focus on understanding the systemic shifts in coercive control and family violence, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and evolving risk assessments from incident-based to holistic approaches.

Connect with peers from frontline services, government, peak bodies, legal sectors, academia, and beyond to explore the criminalisation of coercive control, integrated system responses, and effective practice and models for crisis intervention and recovery.
