THE CLUB IN ACTION

Our focus is helping to empower women locally and internationally through the Zonta goals of Advocacy and Service. We celebrate the achievements of young women with University, TAFE scholarships and high school awards as well as contributing to the community by supporting victims of domestic violence.

Our major activities include:

• Supporting local women’s refuges through regular donations of much needed household and school items.
• Assembling birthing kits to enable women in developing countries to experience safe, clean home births.
• Providing breast care cushions for our local community.
• Supporting, through a variety of community projects, the Zonta Says NO campaign held during the 16 days of activism against gender violence.
• Fundraising through a wide variety of initiatives that also serve to raise awareness of Zonta in our local community. These include :
  • Fabulously successful movie nights
  • Luscious high teas
  • Regular raffles
  • BBQs
  • Elegant fashion parades.
• Providing annual awards to support ongoing education:
  • The Zonta Award for Young Women in Public Affairs, encouraging young women to enter public affairs and policy-making fields.
  • The Zonta Achievement Award for a Young Indigenous Woman, recognising leadership and service.
  • TAFE scholarships for local women studying in the areas of child care studies and aged care.
  • University scholarship for women studying midwifery.
