High Tea for Hope 2025
Our High Tea for Hope 2025 on Sunday, May 25 was a truly outstanding success – and it’s all thanks to our incredible supporters.
From the pink carpet and sparkling Chandon on arrival, to the powerful Acknowledgement of Country by Nartarsha Bamblett, a delicious afternoon tea by The Westin Melbourne, unforgettable moments with our MCs Elise McCann and Anna O’Byrne, auctioneer extraordinaire John Bongiorno, and inspiring guest speaker Jelena Dokic – it was a day to remember!
We are sincerely grateful for the continued partnership of The Westin Melbourne, whose generous hospitality and elegant setting provided the perfect backdrop for the occasion for the second consecutive year.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the 160 guests who travelled from across Australia to attend. Your presence, generosity, and compassion will make a meaningful difference in the lives of women and children impacted by family violence.
We also acknowledge, with deep appreciation, the generous sponsors and partners whose support was instrumental in bringing this event to life. Your commitment empowers our work and strengthens our impact.
