Australia family violence: is it only physical violence?
No. 1800RESPECT says domestic and family violence can include emotional, financial, social, legal, reproductive and other forms of abuse, including coercive control and stalking. Safety support should come before routine negotiation where there is danger or coercion. Official source: 1800RESPECT. Guide: https://getinstantlaw.com/family-relationships
