What is it?
Financial abuse is a serious form of family and domestic violence that occurs when an abuser uses money and resources as a means to gain power, and to control their partner or family member.
We're committed to being there for customers in their times of need, including those experiencing or who have survived family and domestic violence and financial abuse.
Financial abuse is a hidden epidemic that often occurs in the community through a lack of awareness and understanding. It can be harder to recognise than some other forms of abuse.
Financial abuse can be influenced by factors such as culture, disability, addiction and mental illness, bereavement, and more. It's important to understand what it looks like, so you can start taking the steps to getting support.
