It Takes A Team

Working together on a local community response to domestic violence and homelessness.

In 2024, Carrie’s Place launched the It Takes A Team campaign, partnering with sporting teams and communities to promote zero tolerance towards violence. This initiative encourages open conversations, bringing domestic violence into the spotlight, highlighting its impact on individuals and families and working together on a local community response.

We need a whole of community response and everyone involved—real change happens when we stand together and say no to violence. Changing behaviours is the key to breaking the cycle of domestic violence and making a difference. Everyone has a right to be safe.

Register your sporting club, association, community group, or organisation below and join Our Team, to drive change in our community.
