PITCHING FOR SUPPORT
Beyond DV
Supporting families affected by domestic violence in rebuilding their lives through innovative recovery programs.
Beyond DV is a Brisbane-based charity supporting families through innovative recovery programs guided by their "Five Pillars of Recovery" Framework, offered at secure centres across Brisbane. The HOPE Hub has assisted over 2000 community members since 2022, addressing social issues such as domestic violence and mental health.
In 2023, Beyond DV partnered to establish Hannah’s Sanctuary, aiding families affected by domestic violence. They also promote primary prevention efforts, including the Love & Learn Teen Relationship App, and advocate for long-term recovery support through the Australian Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Recovery Alliance.
Beyond DV will pitch for funding to run a bespoke pilot program for children aged 8-13 for one year in collaboration with Scouts Queensland. The program will provide opportunities for young people to build trust, resilience, teamwork and positive connections.

Facilitating the training and networking of Indigenous women from around the Coral Sea arc.
Inspired by the success of the Sea Women of Melanesia program, Sea Women of the Great Barrier Reef (SWoGBR) is an initiative run by the Coral Sea Foundation empowering North Queensland Indigenous women in marine conservation. SWoGBR, inspired by an all-female leadership model, aims to become an independent organization, uniting communities to safeguard marine environments while continuing training efforts.
The Coral Sea Foundation, combining science, gender equity, and sustainability, collaborates with the Wulgurukaba traditional owners from Yunbenun (Magnetic Island) to enhance marine science skills and establish marine reserves in their sea-country.
The Coral Sea Foundation will pitch to expand on their successful 2023 initiative, offering Wulgurukaba, Bindal, and Manbarra Indigenous women from Townsville/Palm Island the chance to deepen their sea country knowledge and monitoring skills.
