The new coercive control laws come into effect in NSW from 1 July 2024.

To successfully prove the offence, the prosecution will need to identify the period of time and the range or nature of coercive and controlling incidents.

This forum will focus on:
- the elements of the new offence,
- what evidence will be required to support a prosecution and an application for an ADVO,
- how best to support your clients to report coercive control to police

PRESENTERS:

Sergeant Edward Knight, NSW Police Force
Anne Whitehead, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions NSW

Overview and background context presented by Dr Jane Wangmann, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Technology Sydney
