Earlier this week WASH House visited the ACU 3rd-Year BMIDS Seminar Day where we delivered a workshop. This workshop was a valuable and timely opportunity to deepen their understanding of domestic and family violence against women and the critical role midwives play in identifying, supporting, and referring women experiencing violence. Highlighting the increased risk of domestic violence during pregnancy reinforced the importance of routine screening, compassionate care, and early intervention—key responsibilities our future midwives will carry into their professional practice.
WASH House also received wonderful donations that the students put together these will be distributed to our clients in the future.

We would also like to acknowledge and thank the following donors for their generous contributions:
• BIG W Westpoint, Blacktown
• Baby Bunting, Blacktown
• Milky Goodness, Mulgrave
• ACU 3rd-Year BMIDS Students, ACU Blacktown
• Administration Staff, ACU Blacktown
• Midwifery Team, ACU Blacktown

You are invited to join us for a community candlelight vigil on Thursday 30 July 2026 at Memorial Grove, Blacktown Showground.

This reflective gathering will provide an opportunity for us to come together as a community, remember those whose lives have been lost to domestic and family violence, and stand in solidarity with victim-survivors, families and loved ones.

In July alone, five women and one man have reportedly lost their lives to domestic and family violence across Australia. This brings the reported number of women killed by violence in 2026 to 38.

Behind every number is a person, a family and a community forever changed.

Please join us to share a moment of silence and reflect together.

Their lives mattered. They will not be forgotten.

Thursday 30 July 2026
5.00 pm–5.30 pm
Memorial Grove, Blacktown Showground

Everyone is welcome.
