NEW NSW TENANCY PROTECTIONS FOR DOMESTIC & FAMILY VIOLENCE SURVIVORS - STARTS 21 SEPTEMBER 2026

Leaving an abusive situation is difficult enough without having to navigate a tenancy that keeps you financially or legally tied to the person causing harm.

NSW tenancy reforms are strengthening protections for victim-survivors by:

🏠 Making it easier to end a tenancy early when domestic and family violence is involved.

💰 Protecting victim-survivors from liability for property damage caused by domestic violence.

🔑 Making it easier to recover your share of the rental bond from co-tenants.

🔒 Strengthening security and privacy protections to help keep victim-survivors and their whereabouts safe.

These changes recognise an important reality:

Leaving violence shouldn't mean being trapped in a lease, financially penalised for the abuse, or left vulnerable through information about where you live.

Safe housing is an essential part of leaving violence.

Important 2026 legislative reforms:

The premier of New South Wales Chris Minns said:

"The truth is technology is being weaponised against women, and our laws have not kept pace. These reforms change that.

“For the first time, covert stalking through tracking devices will be a criminal offence, giving police the powers they need to intervene and crack down.

“No one should have to discover they have been monitored for months or years with no legal recourse."

The Minns Labor Government is strengthening protections for domestic violence victims and disrupting organised crime networks with landmark new laws being introduced into NSW Parliament today, targeting stalking and the criminal misuse of tracking devices.

For some women, their pet isn't just a pet.

They were there when she cried.
They stayed when she felt alone.
They gave her a reason to get out of bed.
They offered comfort without asking questions.
They gave her something to protect, when she was struggling to protect herself.

When a woman finally finds the courage to leave an unsafe situation, the thought of leaving that animal behind can be unbearable.

For a woman escaping domestic violence, her companion animal can be her comfort and sometimes her only source of unconditional love.

That's why at Nurture Nation Food Hut, we believe supporting women, also means supporting the animals they love.

Healing shouldn't have to begin with another goodbye.

Keep them together. Support her healing. Give them both a chance to feel safe again.

"Poor me syndrome"

A tactic that abusers use, in an attempt to escape accountability.

Throughout my career I have identified, linked and profiled patterned crimes, behaviour and perpetrators. I have clocked one particular phenomenon, which I call Poor Me Syndrome.  Symptoms only appear to be visible at the point of accountability i.e. when a man has been called out for his a

Every state should follow suit:

Tasmania proposes tougher laws for serial family violence perpetrators

Key points from the ABC report:

- Serial family violence perpetrators could be formally declared after meeting proposed thresholds, for repeated offences.

- A public register is proposed, allowing certain declared perpetrators to be identified, with protections considered for victims' privacy.

- New relationships could be monitored - declared perpetrators may have to notify police if they enter a new relationship.

- Dating sites and social media could also be subject to notification requirements.

- Declarations could last for at least two years, with behaviour-change programs forming part of the proposed response.

- Previous family violence offences from other Australian states and territories could be taken into account.

- Courts could have greater powers to protect current, former and potential partners.

So if tonight your heart still trembles, let it.

Even trembling hearts keep beating.

Even broken wings remember the sky.

Even after the longest winter, the smallest green shoot pushes through frozen ground, without asking for permission.

And so will you.

Not because life was kind.

But because somewhere inside you, beneath every tear, beneath every sleepless night, beneath every fear that tried to convince you there would never be another sunrise - there is still a quiet voice that has never stopped believing.

It whispers, softly, patiently, faithfully:
"Stay. Morning is already on its way."
