Domestic abuse affects people from all social and economic backgrounds, regardless of age, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. It includes any action or behaviour involving abuse between adult family members (including current and former partners).

Abuse occurs when a person causes, attempts to cause or threatens to cause emotional, sexual or physical harm to an intimate partner or other family members. It can also be a pattern of coercive behaviour to establish and maintain power and control over another in a relationship. This type of behaviour takes many forms, including physical, sexual, economic and emotional abuse, isolation and the selective destruction of property and pets.
