Our 30 Year Celebration Event

Posted byCinta GravesPosted inEvents

WHAT A NIGHT!

On 10 October 2026, we celebrated 30 years of DVAC with a fabulous evening of music, food, drinks, raffles, auctions and celebration!

It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on three decades of achievements, including supporting more than 8,000 people each year when they need us most, and to recognise the generosity and goodwill of the community that has helped shape us into the strong, values-driven organisation we are today.

With the funds raised, alongside government funding under the HAFF Crisis and Transitional Accommodation Program, DVAC will be building cottages for people who have experienced domestic violence to live safely. Read more about Homes for Hope.

On the night we also released our Impact Report which showcases how we made a difference during 2025–26.
