Thank you to the partner organisations who have helped make this legislation possible 🤝

Today I stood alongside ACT Policing , Domestic Violence Crisis Service ACT and YWCA Canberra —key partners we have worked closely with to introduce legislation to criminalise coercive control in the ACT.

This is part of broader reforms to strengthen our response to domestic, family and sexual violence, building on last week’s $44.2 million ACT Budget investment over four years to bolster frontline services and provide long-term funding, and yesterday’s launch of the Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Strategy First Action Plan.

Grateful for a powerful and deeply impactful workshop on , one that reminded us just how quickly technology can be weaponised, and how vital it is that we stay informed, skilled, and connected, supported by an ACT Multicultural inclusion grant ACT Government

We are grateful for the leadership and support of Minister of Prevention of Domestic Violence and Minister of Women, Marisa Paterson MLA and Pro Vice-Chancellor Michelle Lincoln of University of Canberra, whose leadership and commitment to prevention and innovation continues to strengthen this work.

The session delivered practical, hands-on learnings that frontline workers and community leaders can apply immediately—how to identify digital harm, respond safely, and better protect victim-survivors, particularly women and children from CALD communities. Working with real devices and real case examples brought home both the urgency and the responsibility we carry in this space.

What stood out most was the collective strength in the room—community leaders, practitioners, and frontline workers coming together with a shared commitment to safety, dignity, and empowerment.

A sincere thank you to our outstanding presenters Andrew Collins and Rose McDonald from Nansen Digital Forensics .io for their expertise, clarity, and courage in tackling confronting realities with compassion and professionalism.

Thank you to Lubna Alam from The University of Sydney Business School, Dr Rosetta Romano and Blooma John from University of Canberra for their collaboration to host the event.

This workshop reaffirmed that addressing tech-facilitated abuse is not just about technology—it’s about people, trust, and collective action.

You’ll see firsthand the ways perpetrators use technology to harm, and some of it is truly shocking, some quite confronting and most of it will give you chills.

But it’s not just about understanding the risk, it’s about equipping you with practical, hands-on tools to spot technology-facilitated abuse, respond safely, and protect victim-survivors.

You’ll get to work with real devices and real case examples, gaining skills you can apply straight away in your work with women and children in CALD communities.
