Our Story
Strong Women Talking is a not-for-profit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Corporation that was founded in 2017 with a vision to Educate, Equip and Empower First Nation women to heal from the impacts of domestic and family violence.
From 2017 onwards, our registered charity has been led by Community women, including Aunties and Elders who saw a need for practical support and prevention-focused solutions in the First Nations’ family and domestic violence charities sector.
Since 2018, we have delivered Healing Journey workshops to over 200 women within Brisbane and greater Brisbane.
We need your support today. Donate now to help First Nation Women on their journeys toward a life free from domestic and family violence.
Our aim is to break the cycle of violence in our families and create a safe healing space for First Nation women to heal from the impacts of trauma from violent relationships.
Know The Stats
3.1 times the
rate of violence
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have reported experiencing violence in the past 12 months – 3.1 times the rate of non-Indigenous women.
32 times higher rate of hospitalisation
Hospital rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women due to family violence-related assaults are 32 times higher than the rate for non-Indigenous women.
Significant
Health Impacts
Intimate partner violence contributes 10.9% of the burden of disease for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women ages 18 to 44. This is more than any other health risk factor.
Children are at greater risk
Family violence against women is the leading reason for disproportionately high numbers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are being removed from their families.

How Your Support Can Help
How Your
Support Can Help
Domestic and family violence impacts First Nations women and children at disproportionate rates to non-indigenous women and children.
Through our support services, we offer programs and workshops to help educate, equip and empower First Nations’ women and families affected by domestic and family violence.
In donating to Strong Women Talking, you are helping us spread community awareness and provide trauma-informed domestic and family violence services.
With your help, we can continue to provide practical programs and services which empower First Nations’ women to heal from the impacts of trauma.
Together, we can help break the cycle of domestic and family violence within disadvantaged families.
Every Dollar Counts
When you donate to Strong Women Talking, your contribution goes directly into helping us drive awareness and educate communities on the cycle of domestic and family violence.
Together, we can create a future free from violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.
Our fundraising goal of $100,000 would help 25 women complete the Healing Journey and receive essential living support.
