QUIZ: Can you recognise financial abuse?
Financial abuse is often hard to spot. Getty
More than 600,000 Australians were subject to financial abuse in 2020. This is equivalent to more than 43 female and 27 male victims every hour of 2020.
Financial abuse is a non-physical form of domestic and family violence, which is often invisible to the outside eye in intimate partner relationships – and it's the discreet nature of financial abuse that also makes it one of the most insidious kinds of family violence.
In this informative quiz, we take a look at the common signs of coercive control in financially abusive relationships.
If you or someone you know is affected by domestic violence, please call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) or visit 1800RESPECT.org.au. In an emergency, call 000.
