Submission to the Senate inquiry on the Family Law Amendment Bill 2024

Our submission to provide feedback to assist the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee in its review of the Family Law Amendment Bill 2024 (the Bill).

We commend the Government’s commitment to amending the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (Family Law Act) to address family violence in property settlements and to better recognize the ongoing financial impacts of economic and financial abuse.

This submission, prepared by the Economic Abuse Reference Group (EARG), will focus specifically on the proposed amendments concerning economic and financial abuse, drawing on our expertise in this area.
