The NSW Government describes ‘family’ as having “a broader definition and includes people who are related to one another through blood, marriage or de facto partnerships, adoption and fostering relationships, siblings, and extended family relationships. It includes the full range of kinship ties in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, extended family relationships, and constructs of family within lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, or queer (LGBTIQ+) communities. People living in the same house, people living in the same residential care facility and people reliant on care may also be considered to be in a domestic relationship if their relationship exhibits dynamics which may foster coercive and abusive behaviours.”
