New South Wales Women’s Safety Commissioner Dr Hannah Tonkin will share reflections on the NSW experience at a free seminar Criminalising Coercive Control: Experiences in preparation and implementation next week.
The Department of Justice and Attorney-General is hosting Dr Tonkin on Monday, 30 September, as Queensland prepares for the new laws to criminalise coercive control.
The seminar will provide practical guidance on how government and non-government organisations can make necessary preparations before commencement in 2025.
Leaders from across the sector will also take part in a panel discussion about the opportunities and challenges for Queensland.
