CARE in Action launch

Next date: Tuesday, 08 December 2026 | 11:30 AM to 02:00 PM

Join us for the launch of CARE in Action and explore how communities across rural and regional Victoria are taking action to prevent gender-based violence. Plus, hear from guest speaker and former AFL footballer Mitch Brown about the role we can all play in creating safer, more respectful and inclusive communities. 

Drawing on his experinces both on and off the field, Mitch will share insights into leadership, vulnerability, resilience, and creating cultures of respect and belonging. As a leading advocate for positive masculinity and inclusion, he brings a unique perspective on challenging harmful gender stereotypes, fostering wellbeing, and creating environments where people feel safe to be themselves. 

As part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, this special event celebrates the launch of CARE in Action, a new resource showcasing the people, partnerships and initiatives helping create safer, more respectful communities across rural and regional Victoria. Through practical examples from workplaces, sporting clubs, community groups and local governments, CARE in Action demonstrates that preventing violence is everyone's responsibility and highlights the many ways individuals and organisations can contribute to lasting change. 

Whether you're already involved in gender equality and prevention work or looking for inspiration on where to start, this event offers a unique opportunity to learn from others, celebrate local leadership, strengthen connections and leave with renewed energy for creating change in your community.
