Coercive control is when someone repeatedly hurts, scares or isolates another person to control them. It’s domestic abuse and can cause serious harm.

There are now laws in NSW about coercive control. Find out about these changes.

Visit the NSW Government’s coercive control website to learn more about coercive control.

If you, or someone you know, is experiencing coercive control, there’s help available. Call 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) for 24/7 support.
