Our history
Our story began in 1999 when our Founder, Dianne Jeans, was Chair of Brisbane City Council’s Women’s Advisory Council during Lord Mayor Jim Soorley’s tenure. He believed that “if one woman wasn’t safe at home, the city wasn’t safe” and, in response to the growing domestic and family violence crisis, Dianne began exploring ways to address this in the local community.
