Laura Bianchi, EARG Coordinator, presented a workshop titled Economic Abuse Reference Group: National multisector collaboration for transformational change to the 5th World Conference of Women’s Shelters in Sydney on 16 September 2025.
This session highlighted EARG’s unique model, which unites over 60 community organisations to advocate for systemic policy reforms. The session included a panel discussion featuring:
Julia Davis from Financial Rights Legal Centre, representing EARG’s members.
Ann Kayis-Kumar from the UNSW Tax and Business Advisory Clinic, representing EARG’s academic partnerships.
Catherine Fitzpatrick from Flequity Ventures and former bank executive, representing EARG’s industry and government relationships.
EARG brings together expertise from legal, DFV, and financial counselling services to deliver trusted advice and influence policy development.
We’re incredibly proud to work alongside such forward-thinking and innovative organisations, driving policy change to end economic abuse.
