How domestic abuse can sabotage your career (and how to recover) CommBank When you're not safe at home, a job can be a lifeline. It's a paycheck, a connection to the world and even a chance to raise the alarm. But when your ability to work is sabotaged, the road back to the workforce can be long and difficult, even after you’ve left.

In episode five of There’s No Place Like Home: Paths to Healing, Sally Spicer sits down with Dr Anne Summers AO, who founded Australia's first women's refuge fifty years ago, and Belinda Casselden, a survivor advocate who struggled for years to return to sustainable, meaningful work after abuse despite an impressive career.

Long-term impacts: How financial abuse impacts a woman’s financial security over her entire lifetime. 

Reclaiming your career: Belinda’s personal journey of returning to the workforce and the innovative programs helping women find stable work.
