One in six Australian women have experienced economic abuse by a partner.
This is according to a recently released survey conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) between March 2021 – May 2022.
Financial abuse can take many forms and can often be difficult to identify.
Annuity.org has developed a comprehensive guide to assist in identifying and combating financial abuse, and the guide aims to empower individuals with the knowledge to address financial abuse effectively.
