Coercive Control Poster and Translations

The Crimes Legislation Amendment (Coercive Control) Act 2022 was passed by NSW Parliament in November 2022, creating a standalone offence of coercive control in current or former intimate partner relationships, with a maximum penalty of seven years in gaol.

It is important to understand and recognise what coercive control is and how prevalent it is.
