Reflecting on a Year of Impact: Our 2025-26 Annual Report

We are proud to release the Zonta House 2025-26 Annual Report, showcasing a year of meaningful impact, innovation and growth as we continued our mission to improve the lives of women, individuals and families impacted by family and domestic violence (FDV).

Over the past year, Zonta House supported 965 individuals through 15 specialist programs, providing personalised and holistic support tailored to each person’s unique journey. Our services delivered 11,312 nights of safe accommodation and supported victim-survivors through accommodation, outreach, healing and wellbeing programs, safety-focused services, financial assistance, and community education initiatives.

The report highlights the increasing demand for FDV services across Western Australia and the challenges faced by victim-survivors seeking safety and support. It also demonstrates the positive outcomes achieved through specialist intervention, with clients reporting improved wellbeing, reduced mental health distress, and progress towards their personal goals and recovery.

Included are reflections from our Chairperson, CEO and Treasurer, alongside insights into our strategic priorities, organisational growth and response to emerging needs. The report also explores key initiatives from the year, including our work in lived experience leadership, the introduction of FDV First Aid training, technology safety support, and our continued commitment to reconciliation and culturally responsive practice.

Importantly, this report is also an opportunity to recognise the extraordinary contribution of our staff, volunteers, partners, funders, donors and supporters. Their commitment enables us to deliver safety, support and opportunities for recovery to those impacted by violence.

While there is more work to be done, this year’s report reflects what is possible when communities, organisations and individuals work together towards a shared vision: a safe and equitable community where everyone can live free from fear, abuse and violence.
