The Economic Abuse Reference Group is a national network of Australian community organisations that work collectively with government and industry to reduce the financial impacts of family violence. Our members include domestic and family violence services, community legal services, financial counselling services and women’s services. Over 70 organisations contribute to our work.
Initially established to support the implementation of recommendations from the Royal Commission into Family Violence in Victoria, EARG now informs national policy and industry practice. Our Victorian, New South Wales and Western Australian state groups have input to local issues (for example energy, fines and local government).
National EARG is coordinated by Redfern Legal Centre through funding from Ecstra Foundation and the NSW Government through the Community Legal Centres Program administered by Legal Aid NSW.
