Speaker | Author | Family & Domestic Violence Specialist

Media personality, author, keynote speaker, and Family and Domestic Violence Specialist, Renee Eaves, has been through what many would describe as an intriguing and unthinkable journey.

Through both lived experience and professional insight, Renee has become recognised for her ability to connect with people navigating adversity, trauma, and complex life circumstances — particularly women impacted by family and domestic violence.

A Few Words About Renee

“I could not think of a person that does so much for so many, Renee is one of those rare people that mean and do what they say”

Rick Flori

25 years at Queensland Police Service

"I admire Renee’s stoicism, level of advocacy, and genuine commitment to fighting for justice. Character is what we are – unobserved"

Dr. Narelle Dawson – Wells

Former Deputy Director, Crime and Misconduct Commission

"Renee has an incredible ability to bring clarity and calm during times of emotional trauma. She deeply understands coercive control and the patterns of financial and systems abuse, helping the court recognise and understand the true impact of all forms of abuse. Throughout one of the most difficult times in my life, Renee was there every step of the way — listening, supporting and helping me feel seen and understood with both compassion and professionalism at times when I felt alone and confused. I’m so grateful I had her by my side during such a challenging time."

Tania Zaetta

Actress & Radio Announcer

"I was mentally exhausted, traumatised and struggling to articulate years of coercive and post-separation abuse to police and my legal team. Renee carefully reviewed every detail of my material and produced a sharp, powerful report that made the invisible visible, cut through the confusion, and clearly identified the pattern of abuse. Her ability to pinpoint what others had missed completely changed the direction of my matter. Within a week, I finally obtained the protection order I had spent over a year trying to secure."
