As we announced last month, we were very excited to that our One Million Stars to end violence (led by Bayside City Council) project was announced as a finalist at the 2017 VicHealth Awards. Winners were announced on 5 December and, while the project didn't win in the nominated category, it was highly commended by the judges!

Congratulations to all agencies, volunteers and community members involved in this innovative project which had significant impact on those who took part. Don't forget to look out for our stars as part of the One Million Stars to End Violence display at King George Square, Brisbane during the Commonwealth Games from 29 March to 15 April 2018.
