Be a Leader in Women’s Recovery

1 in 4 women in Australia will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. This means these stories exist in every community, every workplace, and every social gathering. The Women's Resilience Centre invites forward-thinking businesses to join us in creating transformative change through recovery-focused solutions. By becoming a corporate partner, your organisation demonstrates authentic commitment to gender equality and women's safety, takes meaningful action on a critical national issue, addresses domestic abuse as a workplace matter through inclusive leadership, and supports a cause that deeply resonates with employees, customers, and stakeholders.
