Coercive control communication framework

The Coercive control communication framework 2024–27 (the framework) guides best practice communications about coercive control, its nature and impacts, and the domestic and family violence (DFV) laws in Queensland.

Based on statewide research and extensive consultation, the framework supports the delivery of culturally safe and trauma-informed communications to establish clear and shared awareness, understanding and recognition of coercive control and DFV.

The framework is designed to be used by government agencies, the DFV prevention sector, and corporate and community organisations. It is a resource able to advise community members on how to recognise coercive control and how to support victim-survivors impacted by this form of violence and abuse.

Community education resources have been co-designed with community groups and are available to provide information about coercive control and DFV.
