AWARDS

Finalist Bendigo Bank Community Group of the Year Award (2023)

Broken to Brilliant Charity was born in 2015 from the experiences of domestic violence survivors. With a dedicated team of around 70 volunteers, they provide transformative post-crisis and trauma-informed programs to empower survivors. From Equine, Art and Narrative Therapy and Financial Superwomen workshops to Rise to Rebuild and mentoring programs, they've transformed the lives of countless survivors. Broken to Brilliant's impact is a testament to the strength and resilience of survivors. They've opened two Op Shops to fund their mission: domestic violence survivors mentoring fellow survivors to recover, heal and rebuild. Creating a future for all who've experienced domestic abuse.
