📞 | It’s grand final weekend, and as exciting as that is, unfortunately there is also growing concern over the increase in violence at home.

In 2025 Victoria Police reported that they saw a five per cent increase in family violence incidents on AFL grand final day, with 315 incidents overall.

We wanted to share some helplines for those in community escaping family violence and to remind everyone that the celebration of a grand final event at home should be safe and exciting not unsafe and terrifying.

The siren might signal the end of the game, but for some, the danger doesn’t end there.

Please look after yourselves, look after those around you and seek help if you need.

So inspiring to see young mob – including some of our own V***A staff members! – gather on Boonwurrung Country earlier this month for the Koorie Youth Summit 2026.

The summit is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people aged 18 to 28, supporting them to come together, connect, discuss issues, learn and celebrate culture.

This year the theme was ‘Together, We’re Staunch: Our Culture, Our Power’ and featured keynote speakers Sue-Anne Hunter and Miss Kaninna.

Thank you to the Koorie Youth Council for organising this deadly opportunity for our next generation of staunch leaders.
