“The past twelve months have also been witness to a consolidation of our positive reputation in the sector. This can be attributed to our proactive approach to taking a leadership role and positive contribution wherever possible.’

• Zonta House was awarded the WACOSS Community Excellence Award 2016 for a medium size organisation for the ongoing Positive Pathways program.
• Under the Positive Pathways program we hosted more than 44 education workshops with almost 300 attendees, community awareness sessions to more than 1800 people, and supported Starting Over Support (SOS) to become a unique and independent charity in Western Australia from July 1 2016.
• Working in collaboration with the new Lead 24/7 Specialist Emergency Response Service System Model and the Department for Child Protection and Family Support. The purpose of the model is to improve access to crisis accommodation and address immediate danger for women with or without children.
