About Us

Every person deserves to live free from violence, fear and control.

The Kellie Brinkhuis Foundation exists to prevent domestic, family and sexual violence through education, advocacy, early intervention and survivor-centred support.

We believe violence is preventable.

By educating young people, supporting families, influencing systems and empowering communities, we can create lasting cultural change that promotes respect, equality and healthy relationships.

Our vision is an Australia where every person can live safely, free from abuse, coercive control and violence.

Prevention

Delivering evidence-informed education that teaches young people about healthy relationships, respect, consent, emotional wellbeing and coercive control before violence begins.

Education

Providing workshops, training and community programs that empower people with knowledge and practical skills.

Advocacy

Using lived experience alongside research to influence policy, improve services and strengthen Australia's response to domestic and family violence.

Recovery

Working towards establishing safe accommodation and integrated support services where survivors can access counselling, psychological services, legal support and pathways to independence.

 To create a future where:

• every child grows up understanding respect and healthy relationships 
• every person recognises the signs of coercive control 
• communities refuse to tolerate abuse 
• victim-survivors receive compassionate, coordinated support 
• prevention becomes Australia's strongest response to domestic violence

Preventing domestic and family violence requires all of us.

Whether you're an educator, parent, student, business, community organisation or supporter, you can help create safer communities.

Together, we can educate, advocate and create lasting change.

 Kellie Brinkhuis Foundation currently consists of four directors.
