A Community Lunch for Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Thursday 28 May 2026. 12:30pm – 2:00pm. The Mona. 2 Park Street, Mona Vale NSW 2103. $65 per person

May is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Across Australia, communities come together to raise awareness of domestic and family violence, to call for justice, and to ensure women and families impacted have the support they need to move forward. Awareness starts the conversation.

Recovery changes everything. 1 in 4 Australian women are affected by domestic violence. Most never report it. Most never access shelter. And 9 in 10 never receive the long-term recovery support they need to truly rebuild their lives. We call them The Missing Majority and they are right here in our community in Mona Vale and across the Northern Beaches. Resetting. Rebuilding. Quietly carrying on.

Recovery is prevention. When women are supported to rebuild their health, finances, confidence, parenting capacity and future direction, we break cycles of abuse that can span generations. That is the work of the Women’s Resilience Centre. And this May, our community is stepping up.

Join Us for an inspiring and purposeful community lunch, proudly co-hosted by the Mona Vale Chamber of Commerce and The Mona Vale Hotel.

Your ticket includes Two-course lunch and Keynote speaker, Graeme Cowan. On the day: Silent auction, Raffle, Cash bar.

We are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker, Graeme Cowan, a Founding Director of R U OK?, author of five books, host of The Caring CEO podcast, and one of Australia's leading voices on resilience, recovery, and the power of genuine human connection.

Graeme knows firsthand what it means to break down and rebuild. His story and the practical tools he shares are exactly what this event is about.

Our silent auction is live now and open to everyone. Bid on incredible prizes from the comfort of your home, whether you can make it on the day or not. Over $3,000 in raffle prizes will also be drawn on the day. Bid in our silent auction: https://auctions.funraise.org/989bcf23-f387-411d-aff5-fca869828cfd/8917

All proceeds fund free national recovery programs for women after domestic violence and trauma.

Proudly supported by Mona Vale Chamber of Commerce & The Mona.
