Papers and submissions

RLC and the Economic Abuse Reference Group (EARG) have made submissions to Government recommending a phased approach to criminalising coercive control.

RLC has joined more than 70 organisations calling on NSW Government to remove the requirement to prove injury in Victims Support applications.

The Economic Abuse Reference Group (EARG) makes recommendations to ensure economic abuse is a critical part of the national plan, calling for shorter and more targeted action plans with tangible outcomes.

EARG believes the criminalisation of coercive control won’t necessarily achieve better outcomes for victim-survivors.

In March 2021, members of the Economic Reference Group NSW (EARG NSW), appeared before a NSW Parliamentary inquiry into coercive control.

RLC recommends the introduction of domestic violence specialist courts (or specialist court list days), to ensure better outcomes for victims through specialist training and collaborative practices between the court.
