Awareness of Violence Against Women
The Grampians region experiences high rates of family violence. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed in our community. It is important that all members of our community stand up and speak out for those who have experienced gender-based violence.
Yarriambiack Shire Council is a proud member of the Women's Health Grampians CoRE Alliance.
