While sharing has always been a core part of Indigenous culture, sometimes things can go wrong – such as people controlling other peoples’ money or taking more than their fair share.

This short video made by the Commonwealth Bank and First Nations Foundation looks at some of the signs of financial abuse.

Financial abuse can happen to anyone, but women or older people tend to be targeted more often.

Remember – help is ALWAYS available if you or a loved one think you may be a victim of financial abuse. Call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732). Commbank also has a dedicated resource here.
