The Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 2012 (Qld) provides protection to those who have experienced domestic violence.
What constitutes Domestic Violence can be very broad, and includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Physical or sexual abuse;
- Emotional or psychological abuse;
- Economic abuse;
- Conduct that is threatening, coercive, dominating or controlling.
It is important that the law balances the need for protection of an aggrieved person, as well as the rights of a respondent.
