Path Of Hope Foundation A Perth Rotary initiative supporting The Salvation Army’s services for women and children escaping family violence. that is more than 1,000 reports a week.

We mobilise Rotarians and communities to promote healthy relationships and help break the intergenerational cycle of family violence. Domestic violence is behaviour which results in physical, sexual and/or psychological damage, forced social isolation, economic deprivation, or behaviour which causes the victim(s) to live in fear. Family and domestic violence can be experienced by people of all classes, religions, ethnicity, ages, abilities and sexual preference. In 2016, it was estimated that violence against women and their children cost the Australian economy $22 billion (KMPG, 2016). Nationwide, it is estimated that one in three women experience physical violence and one in five women experience sexual violence in their lifetime (ABS, 2006). In Western Australia between the 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2016, police attended 53 571 domestic and family violence incidents. In Perth, 70% of all emergency room visits are domestic violence related. The Salvation Army provides secure accommodation for women and women with children in a number of confidential locations throughout Australia (this includes emergency accommodation and medium-term accommodation). Through the provision of personal support and practical assistance, the Salvos aim to promote independent living, encouraging women to take control of their lives and helping empowering them to break the cycle of abuse through a range of workshops and living skills programs. The Rotary Club of Perth brings together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Together, Rotary and The Salvation Army aim to end the cycle of domestic violence through a joint partnership where Rotary provides the necessary funding to The Salvation Army to deliver the operational resources and expertise to tackle this issue of epidemic proportions.

“Path of Hope” is the foundation project which represents the formal collaboration of these two internationally recognised not-for-project organisations in their fight to end domestic violence globally.

💛 With heartfelt thanks to NPB Security 💛

We are enormously grateful to Natalie, the NPB Security leadership team and their security professionals for supporting ‘A Grand Voyage | Where HOPE Meets Courage’ at Government House Ballroom, Western Australia.

NPB Security generously provided full security coverage as an in-kind contribution. When additional staff were required at very short notice, the team responded immediately and extended their sponsorship to cover the unexpected cost. This is corporate social responsibility in action and a truly commendable example of community leadership.

Their professionalism helped keep our guests safe while maximising funds available for Path of Hope’s volunteer-led initiatives, including our projects with The Salvation Army and the HOPE Internship Programme.

The evening celebrated the national rollout of 499 Evening Kits and 189 Kitchen Starter Packs across The Salvation Army’s Family Violence refuge network throughout Australia, together with the launch of the third edition of The HOPE Report. These milestones were made possible through the generous support of our Foundational Major Sponsors, Hancock Prospecting and Hancock Iron Ore, under the leadership of Executive Chairman Mrs Gina Rinehart AO.

Thank you, NPB Security, for standing alongside Rotary Path of Hope. We are truly honoured to work with you.

In a major national response to family violence, Rotary Path Of Hope has officially launched its nationwide rollout of 499 brand-new Evening Kits and 189 Kitchen Starter Packs for women and children escaping crisis, supplying every Salvation Army family violence refuge across Australia.

Formally announced on Wednesday night at Government House Ballroom in Perth, this volunteer-led Western Australian initiative reaches all states and territories. The support directly equips The Salvation Army’s nationwide network of 20 family violence refuges— spanning 189 units, 304 rooms, and 499 beds—ensuring families experience immediate relief and ongoing dignity from the moment they arrive.

"When a woman with her children arrives at refuge, the first message should be: you are safe, you are seen, and you are not alone," said Rebecca Tolstoy AM, Founding and Current Chairman of Rotary Path of Hope.

"An Evening Kit offers comfort in those first vulnerable hours, while a Kitchen Starter Pack helps families make anything from breakfast to dinner while building the foundations of a new home. These brand-new essentials are practical, but the hope they carry is immeasurable."
