Why This Matters in Tasmania
Every Tasmanian deserves to live free from violence and fear. Yet, behind closed doors across our state, family violence and coercive control continue to cause profound harm. It affects people of all ages, backgrounds, and postcodes.
For too long, family violence was treated as a private matter — something kept hidden. But silence enables harm. When we look the other way, the cycle continues.
We believe this is a community issue that requires a long-term community response. Real change starts with understanding what abuse looks like, recognising the early warning signs, and having the courage to speak up, reach out, and support one another.
The Current Situation in Tasmania
* Increased reporting can also reflect growing awareness and confidence in seeking help — a sign that communities are speaking up.
