The intent of the proposed changes The work the Malinauskas Government has been doing to further strength protection for victims of domestic violence is to be commended. [...] The Don Dunstan Foundation was proud to partner with the Office for Women and the City of Adelaide on a public forum in February this year to further amplify the conversations and raise the awareness of warning signs to look for in relationships. [...] The Foundation supports the intent behind the legislation and the need for strengthening of our current system to support law enforcement to act on this behaviour. [...] Our own consultation with some of our key stakeholders has raised some questions we would ask to be considered in any further drafting of the Bill, with the view to strengthening the impact of the legislation and its protection of victims. [...] The work which has already been done by the Government and the domestic violence sector in raising awareness of what coercive control is, and the impact it has in relationships is significant and to be commended.
