This article explores coercive control as a hidden but devastating form of abuse that rewires the brain, undermines autonomy, and impacts every aspect of life — including the workplace. Drawing on lived experience, neuroscience, and recent legal reforms in Queensland, South Australia, and New South Wales, it reveals how perpetrators use tactics such as love-bombing, gaslighting, intimidation, and logistical sabotage to entrap their partners. It also highlights the workplace health and safety implications, using Australian and international cases to show why organisations must recognise coercive control as a serious risk and act to protect staff.
