The Official Launch of Rize Above

Join us for the launch of Rize Above! 

You’re invited to join Relationships Australia South Australia, in partnership with the City of Salisbury, for the official launch of Rize Above.

Every year in Australia, over 300,000 women experience violence¹.

Intimate partner violence contributes to more death, disability and illness in women aged 15 to 44 than any other preventable risk factor².

The Rize Above Respectful Relationships Education Program is a specifically designed multi-stream primary prevention program for young people.

Responding to the drivers of violence, the program aims to reduce violence against women and their children. 

Rize Above has been co-created by young people for young people and will be delivered in schools and online.

We look forward to sharing this launch with you!
