Justice for Her has officially launched. This new statewide initiative, led by Women’s Legal Service Tasmania, is focused on driving real, lasting change for women and children experiencing family violence.

The statistics in Tasmania are confronting:
• One in three women has experienced physical or sexual violence
• More than half of all assaults reported to police are family violence related
• Police respond to over 30 incidents every day
• Nine out of ten calls for crisis accommodation are unmet due to lack of space

“Family violence remains the most significant safety issue for women and children in our state,” says Women’s Legal Service Tasmania CEO Yvette Cehtel.

Justice for Her has been designed to move beyond awareness and into sustained impact.

Through a 12-month public pledge, organisations and individuals commit to both financial contributions and practical workplace and cultural actions. Funds raised provide immediate, frontline support including emergency legal assistance, safety-related supports such as changed locks, transport and childcare, and bridging funding for women falling through system gaps.

This is not a one-off campaign. It is a collective commitment to accountability, visibility and measurable change.

We invite leaders, businesses and the broader community to be part of this movement.

You can get involved by making a pledge, supporting the campaign, or attending Dinner for Change on May 15.

You've been taught that stopping means falling behind.

Your non-conscious mind doesn't agree. It processes, consolidates, and rebuilds during the hours you call wasted. That's the actual biology of how your mind works.
Somewhere the equation got flipped. Rest became something to earn. A reward for finishing enough. And since "enough" keeps moving, the rest never comes.
Every time you push through when your body is asking for recovery, the thinking gets slower and the emotional regulation gets harder. Your mind collects the debt.
The Sunday reset isn't optional. Your neurology built it in.

Share with someone who needs the reminder to rest today. 💛

In 2026 Autism Awareness Day has grown into a month because we recognise meaningful understanding takes time.

Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition affecting how a person perceives the world, processes information, and interacts with others.

Together, during World Autism Awareness Day and World Autism Awareness Month we can all move beyond awareness and into action to make a more supportive, inclusive, and autism-friendly world. We can help create environments where Autistic people feel understood, included, and supported - not just for one day, but every day.

April, but lets make it more connected.
We’re leaving behind the habits that pull us away from each other and choosing small, intentional moments that actually bring us closer.
Now to the part you’re here for, how do we do that?
Well, we made something to help you do it.
This month’s Love Notes is a 30-day digital reset challenge designed to help you move from distraction to connection. We’ll send you one small prompt each day. Simple, realistic, and easy to stick with (we're talking low effort).
If you’re ready for more of the INS and less of the OUTS, this is for you.
