“Domestic and family violence isn’t inevitable,” says Zonta Noosa president Tracey Stubbs, ahead of a regional forum aimed at driving change.
The combined Zonta clubs of the Sunshine Coast will be hosting a domestic and family violence prevention forum at UniSC on Friday 8 November.
“Change starts locally, and every voice makes a difference,” Tracey said.
Join service providers, advocates, and people with lived experience of Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) for a powerful day of learning, sharing, and action.
Speakers include Jo Mason (Founder and CEO, Workhaven); Acting Magistrate Raelene Ellis; Snr Sergeant Jonathon McBride (Sunshine Coast DFV and Vulnerable Persons Unit); and representatives from Women’s Legal Service Queensland.
The forum will explore how communities of practice – collaborative networks that prioritise safety, inclusivity, and respect – can strengthen prevention, response, and recovery for those affected by DFV.
The event coincides with Zonta International’s anniversary, marking over a century of global work to improve women’s health, expand economic opportunities, and prevent gender-based violence.
