What is family violence?

Family violence happens when one person in a relationship hurts another or makes them feel unsafe, and is a repeated pattern of behaviour. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, religion, or sexual orientation, and in all types of relationships. 
Family violence takes many forms, including but not limited to: 

• Controlling behaviour
• Physical violence
• Sexual assault
• Emotional abuse
• Stalking
• Technology facilitated abuse
• Financial abuse
