Launch of Hear Our Voices — Amplifying Older Women’s Stories & Frontline Training Materials

For too long, older women’s experiences of sexual assault and gender-based violence have been overlooked or dismissed, leaving survivors invisible within services, policy, and public consciousness.

Last updated: 4 February 2026

Hear Our Voices is a new online platform that changes that.

It gathers lived stories, frontline perspectives, research, and training resources in one place to inform better responses, support practice and transform service systems.

This launch brings together advocates, practitioners, policymakers, and community members to celebrate the official unveiling of the platform and the training materials designed to strengthen workforce capability and sector understanding.

The launch will be formally opened by Minister Jodie Harrison, whose leadership and advocacy for inclusive, trauma-responsive practice have helped shape sector priorities.
