The Palaszcuk Government will appoint an independent taskforce to consult on coercive control legislation.
Coercive control is a form of non-physical domestic and family violence which includes behaviours such as controlling what someone wears, limiting financial independence and tracking someone's location.
The person who will chair the task force is expected to be announced later today.
