Acknowledgement Of Country

We proudly acknowledge Aboriginal people as the first peoples, Traditional Owners and custodians of the lands and waters on which this work occurs. We acknowledge and respect the wisdom, living culture and unique role that Aboriginal people hold, and saw them thrive for thousands of years. We also acknowledge the ongoing leadership role of the Aboriginal community on gender equality and the prevention of violence against women. As First Peoples, our Aboriginal communities are best placed to determine their own culturally appropriate path to gender equality.

We are proud to launch our 2026, Respect 2040 Regional Report Card

The Respect 2040 Regional Report Card monitors, measures and celebrates progress towards gender equality and the prevention of violence against women across the Barwon South West region.

The Report Card:

  • Provides a snapshot of change over time
  • Highlights local success stories and regional leadership
  • Identifies areas requiring greater focus or support
  • Strengthens accountability and inspires ongoing action across the region.

The Report Card covers the period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, and combines quantitative indicators, qualitative insights and comparative data demonstrating year-on-year progress & comparison with state benchmarks.
