About Yourtoolkit.com

Our purpose is to educate, empower and equip women and children facing or recovering from domestic violence, financial abuse and coercive control. Yourtoolkit.com was first launched in 2019.

Yourtoolkit.com is a web based resource that makes it easier for those facing domestic abuse to change their circumstance by providing comprehensive, relevant information about personal finances, legal matters, keeping safe and support services. Yourtoolkit.com is free and is accessible from any device at any time, to help people reshape and rebuild their lives. Yourtoolkit.com also includes a unique Coercive Control Self-Assessment Tool and resources to educate the community about preventing violence against women.

Uniquely, Yourtoolkit.com uses technology to get behind closed doors, where domestic violence occurs, to help those facing domestic violence break the cycle of abuse for them, their children, and the next generation.

Yourtoolkit.com is used widely by:

  • Women facing family and domestic violence. This includes the estimated 46% of women facing abuse from a current partner who don’t seek any support – for these women Yourtoolkit.com may be the only source of support they are able to access
  • Those seeking to support someone who is facing abuse, including those working in the family violence sector.

Since launch in March 2019, Yourtoolkit.com has had 330,000 visits to the website from right across Australia.
