Australia’s longest running refuge is marking 50 years of supporting survivors of domestic violence.

Join us to celebrate!

Three-course dinner, beverages and entertainment.

Dress: Cocktail

MC: Louise Taylor, ACT’s first indigenous female Supreme Court Judge.

Guest speaker: Rosie Batty

A leading voice against domestic violence.

When her 11-year-old son Luke tragically lost his life at the hands of his father, Rosie channeled her grief into a tireless and inspirational crusade against domestic violence, becoming a beacon of hope and a powerful catalyst for systemic change. From being named Australian of the Year to receiving the Pride of Australia National Courage Medal and the prestigious Order of Australia, Rosie's accolades speak volumes about the indelible mark she has made on our world. Her relentless dedication has also seen her inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women, named by Fortune Magazine as one of the world’s top 50 greatest leaders, and voted as the most influential person in the not-for-profit sector on Pro Bono Australia’s Impact 25 list... twice. But perhaps Rosie's most enduring legacy lies in her innate ability to inspire others. By sharing her own journey of healing and resilience, she has empowered countless others to find hope in the face of adversity. To not only find the strength to confront darkness, but also the courage to find a way forward.

Entertainment:

Sam Buckingham

Australian singer songwriter. Powerful. Raw. Inspiring. On her potent album DEAR JOHN, Sam explores her process of healing, learning and rising up after seven years of being in an emotionally and psychologically abusive relationship. “I share these songs because I know they’re other people’s stories too” says Sam. “When we tell our stories, and boldly write the next chapter for ourselves, we give others permission to do the same"
