Domestic and Family Violence Policy

AllClear Domestic and Family Violence Support

Domestic and family violence can happen to anyone at any time, regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, geographic location, cultural or religious beliefs, or economic status. Domestic and family violence refers to violent, threatening or abusive behaviour by a person towards a current or former family member or partner where the abuser seeks to dominate, coerce or control the other person. Domestic and family violence is not limited to physical harm. It can include emotional, sexual, financial, psychological and economic abuse and social isolation.

‍

At AllClear we recognise that domestic and family violence can be complicated, challenging and personal. Every person’s situation is unique and the right actions for you will depend on your individual circumstances. If you are affected by domestic and family violence, we are committed to supporting you through this difficult time.
