Thank you to our supporters who attended our Inaugural Annual Reset the Dial Gala Evening last night! I have so much joy and gratitude for our donors, volunteers, staff, partners, ambassadors, political advocates, and fellow DV service providers. Together, you are helping us change lives.
Special thanks to Aunty Julie and the Dhinawan Yarn children’s Dance Group for reminding us of the gratitude we owe to this beautiful land, our elders past, present and emerging — and the importance of finding joy in the moments of play. Thank you to Nova Bossa and Jelly Bean Jam for setting the vibe to dance the night away.
A heartfelt thank you also to our joint MCs: Juanita Phillips and Jacinta Tynan, who brought warmth and professionalism to the evening, and to our Deanne Bennett, whose tireless work made this event possible and to Oneill Photographics for capturing the moments!
I also want to thank the leaders whose advocacy amplifies our work: MPs Jacqui Scruby, Michael Regan, Dr Sophie Scamps, Zali Steggall, Mayor Sue Heins, Former Deputy Mayor Ruth Robins, Cr Jody Williams and Cr Vincent De Luca.
So much of the world is fighting. War is rife – and war at home has reached a national crisis level. Violence is an outward expression of unmet needs: fear, isolation, neglect, racism, and judgment. If we do not repair, we will repeat.
At the Women’s Resilience Centre, we support the Missing Majority - many women who suffer domestic abuse, but never access formal support.
We have supported 510 women in 173 regions across Australia, and this year we are on track to support 750 women in over 200 regions, thanks to our Country Community visits – reaching isolated communities where women are 24% more likely to experience domestic violence.
Our trauma-informed programs – from Employment Readiness to Financial Resilience and Mentoring – give women a safe, supported pathway to rebuild their lives.
Last night we raised some much-needed funds — which is vital as we receive less than 1% Government funding.
Joy is not a luxury – it’s a basic human right.
With your support, we can help more women find joy, confidence, and community in their pathway of recovery.
We welcome all to get to know us and be a part of the Women's Resilience Centre charter to reset and rebuild lives.
