What is financial abuse?

Financial abuse is when someone:

• uses money in ways that hurt you
• controls your money.

Financial abuse can be when someone:

• doesn’t let you choose how to spend your money
• stops you from getting a job
• forces you to buy things
• forces you to sign contracts
• stops you from managing your NDIS plan if you want to.

This is never OK.
