RizeUp Australia is a nationwide organisation dedicated to partnering with front-line specialist agencies and the community to provide tangible, life-changing support for families affected by domestic and family violence. Their core mission revolves around driving awareness of the prevalence of domestic and family violence within Australian society, and more crucially, generating practical assistance that offers families hope, support, and the means to break free from the cycle of violence.

The Foundation and Five V established a partnership with RizeUp in FY24, supporting their cornerstone Homes Program. By furnishing homes for families emerging from traumatic circumstances, RizeUp create sanctuaries of comfort, support and security. In addition to the physical contribution to setting up the homes, the experience aims to transform volunteers into advocates, who amplify awareness of domestic and family violence within their own communities through practical solutions. The program fosters personal growth, enabling volunteers to confidently address this critical issue in society.

In FY25 the partnership will also continue support for the RizeUp Health and Wellbeing Hub, which offers victim-survivors access to essential psychological, medical, and dental services, addressing the enduring effects of trauma. This innovative program bridges the gap between crisis intervention and sustained recovery, emphasising trauma-informed care to support victim-survivors on their journey to healing.
