The problem
Family and domestic violence is a widespread crisis in Australia, with many survivors struggling to rebuild their lives and secure a future for themselves and their children.
Currently, victim-survivors can apply for superannuation splitting through family courts to regain financial control. But this process is complex, costly, and often requires survivors to face their abusers again leaving them vulnerable and retraumatised.
The solution
I am committed to changing the law so that superannuation is automatically split in cases of family and domestic violence.
This policy will
- End financial abuse by guaranteeing that survivors receive a fair share of superannuation.
- Provide long-term financial security, enabling victims to rebuild their lives with confidence.
- Remove legal barriers, making it easier for survivors to move forward without the added stress of complex legal battles.
It’s time to put an end to financial control and give survivors the support they deserve.
