FREE Community Workshop – Be There Group x City of Gold Coast x Bond University
Join us for this incredible free opportunity brought to you by City of Gold Coast!
Learn how to build a culture of gender equality, inclusion, and respect and explore the important role of bystandersin preventing domestic and family violence.
In partnership with Bond University, The Be There Group will deliver a two-hour workshop tailored for community and sporting groups, focusing on leadership, bystander confidence, and creating safer, more respectful environments.
This training will empower participants to challenge deep-rooted attitudes and behaviours that normalise harm, including gender-based violence, sexual harassment, bullying, and racism.
You’ll walk away equipped with practical tools to be someone who does something, not through confrontation, but through care, curiosity, and community responsibility.
💬 Learn to:
✅ Lead from any role — recognise your influence in your team or club.
✅ Take bystander action — use the Be There framework to respond safely.
✅ Understand respect — explore bullying, harassment, and racism through a legal and cultural lens.
✅ Build supportive accountability — call out behaviour with care and confidence.
✅ Recognise and respond to DFV — including coercive control and prevention strategies.
🫶 Free catering and refreshments provided.
🎓 Community and sporting groups will receive a certificate of completion.
📅 Thursday, 27 November 2025 | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

This is not yours to carry - Book Launch
In partnership with She Is Not Your Rehab, Be There Group, and Women of the World Australia, join us as we celebrate the official Brisbane launch of This Is Not Yours To Carry - a beautiful new children’s book for those in refuge or navigating the impacts of Domestic and Family Violence. We know how important it is for children in these spaces to hear the message that the trauma and violence around them is not theirs to carry.
You’ll hear from Matt and Sarah Brown from She Is Not Your Rehab and their children, who will share the journey behind the book and do a special live reading.
Date: 10am, Friday 21 November
The Powerhouse – 119 Lamington Street, New Farm, Brisbane
If you know anyone who may be interested in attending, particularly those working in the domestic and family violence sector, education, youth services, or philanthropy — please share this invitation with them. We would be incredibly grateful for your help in spreading the word.
Our goal is to raise the funds needed to distribute this book in bulk across women’s shelters and refuges nationwide, ensuring that every child affected by domestic and family violence has access to this vital resource.
We deeply admire the work of Matt and Sarah, and believe this book represents an important step toward helping children heal and rebuild their sense of safety.
We hope you can join us in celebrating this important milestone and in helping make a lasting difference for children and families across our communities.
Please send your RSVP to Rochelle at info@sheisnotyourrehab.com.

RUOK Day
In 2025, we all understand the power of asking “Are you OK?” But sometimes, the hardest part is knowing what to say next.
That’s why our “RUOK, but really?” 2025 campaign is rolling out across several of our partner organisations. It’s about going beyond the first question—showing genuine care and creating space for real conversations.
