Module 1: Coercive control and domestic and family violence training

Module 1 explains to learners what coercive control is, how it underpins DFV, how to identify patterns of behaviour that are a feature of coercive control and the impact it has on victim-survivors. Module 1 follows the story of Riley and their experience as a victim-survivor of coercive control. Throughout the module, Riley walks users through various topics such as the drivers and gendered nature of coercive control, and how it impacts different groups of people.

Module 2: Coercive control and the law training

Module 2 focuses on the changes to the law around coercive control that will come into effect from 26 May 2025. Module 2 continues from Module 1 with Riley, who walks learners through the upcoming changes to the law, provides an overview of the criminal justice system in Queensland, outlines the support and justice options available to victim-survivors of coercive control, and explains the potential consequences for persons using violence.
