Safety isn't just a priority; it's a shared responsibility 💜🤝

Through our partnership with StandbyU Foundation and crucial partners in our alliance, Escabags Australia and DV Safe Phone, DOOLEYS is taking active steps to protect our local community.

We believe that prevention starts with connection and early action. By empowering people to recognise the signs of hardship and offering practical pathways to support, we are ensuring no one has to face vulnerability alone.

We're excited to announce our partnership with Goulburn Soldiers Club! By working together, we'll be able to support safety through connections within even more of our communities.

Thanks to the generosity of Goulburn Soldiers, we're able to provide StandbyU Shields to their members, guests, and wider community who may be experiencing domestic violence. By planting these seeds of connection, we continue to build connected communities where no one faces life's challenges alone, and individuals and families can have a better tomorrow than today.

📍If you are a part of the Goulburn Mulwaree community, and you or someone you know would benefit from a StandbyU Shield, you can now access one through Goulburn Soldiers Club, discreetly and with no barriers; or you can contact us directly at www.standbyu.org.au to find out more.

Stronger communities are built on connection 🤝💜

We're proud to partner with the StandbyU Foundation to help prevent domestic and family violence through early intervention.

By turning our venues into safe, trusted spaces, we are equipping our team and community with the tools to spot vulnerability and offer support before a crisis hits. Together, we’re breaking the cycle of isolation and building a safer, more connected future for everyone.

Prevention starts where people already belong. That's why we're proud to partner with Leagues Clubs Australia.

Sport and community clubs are uniquely placed to recognise vulnerability, strengthen connections and help people access support before a crisis occurs.

We are looking forward to working together to build stronger clubs, safer communities and better lives. 💜

Proud to stand alongside Ballina RSL, Cherry Street Sports Group and all our partner clubs in supporting the Purple Friday initiative that united clubs right across NSW and Qld in a shared message of safety, connection, and community action.

Clubs are more than venues, they are trusted places where people gather, connect, and look out for one another. Through partnerships like these, we can continue building practical pathways that help communities recognise concerns earlier, strengthen support networks, and stop issues from becoming incidents. 💜

Great to spend time with our friends at Ballina RSL and Cherry Street Sports Ballina sharing the real life impact their support has had in the lives of those experiencing

What stood out isn’t just their support, rather it’s their leadership.

Clubs like these are stepping forward as more than venues. They’re becoming places of safety and connection in their communities. And this movement is growing.

Across the country, more clubs are recognising the role they can play by not waiting for issues to escalate, but creating easy access points for support, safety and connection.

Places people already trust. Places people already go. Places that can make a difference.

This is what real, practical prevention looks like.

If you’re part of the industry and thinking about what your club’s role could be, let’s talk.
