Darkness to Daylight Challenge - Transport team

This past October 2020, a team of 22 Transport employees took part in the Darkness to Daylight Challenge to raise awareness and funds for Domestic Family Violence and Abuse (DFVA) prevention. It was a 110km run or walk, which each km symbolising on average the lives lost to DFVA in Australia each year. A whopping $10,331 was raised, well over our target of $3,000.

Money raised will go towards not-for-profit organisation Australia's CEO Challenge (ACEOC), so they can continue their work in supporting workplaces to support those affected. Transport has partnered with ACEOC to run a pilot DFVA learning program with 117 people across our cluster in August 2020. It will also ensure that they can continue to build their partnerships program which has positive impacts for frontline services including women’s refuges, men’s behavioural change programs and DFVA frontline services.

Together, we can bring the issue of DFVA out of the darkness and into the daylight.
