Join Zonta Club of Mackay Inc to raise awareness to the impacts of coercive control experienced by members of our community.
This dinner, held on 28th October at 6pm, is an advocacy event to facilitate an open discussion within the community about how together, we can act towards changing the narrative of ‘What is Domestic Violence?’.
The night will take place at Ocean International, with Jordana Abela from Reynolds Family Law as the Chair, as well as a host of guest speakers including:
● Mayor Greg Williamson – Mayor DV Taskforce
● Detective Inspector Emma Novosel - Queensland Police Service
● Namarca Corowa - Reconcile Life
● Mike Fry - Domestic Violence Resource Service Mackay
● Grace Harrison - Statewide Family Law
Designed as a panel discussion, the evening will provide insight into the police perspective of witnessing on-scene evidence involving domestic violence versus the legal perspective on the nuances of coercive control heard in the courtroom.
The hope of change will be heard by Zonta Club’s community workers, who will discuss the resources available for perpetrators through Reconcile Life and the Domestic Violence Resource Service.
Tickets include access to this event and a 2-course meal. Raffle tickets will also be sold on the night, with the proceeds donated to Reconcile Life to help continue changing the community one person at a time.
