The Equanimity Project Australia is a passionate collective of individuals with lived experience, united by a shared purpose to advocate for and empower individuals facing significant physical, emotional, and welfare challenges. Although our work supports majority of women, children, and even pets, we support men too and recognise the interconnected struggles they face in today’s society.
Through our innovative and compassionate advocacy services, we provide a lifeline to those experiencing cycles of violence, abuse, coercive control, hardship, discrimination, or marginalisation. By addressing root causes and offering practical support, we aim to break these cycles and foster a sense of safety, stability, and resilience.
Our duty is to create an equitable way of life for all, where no one is left behind—whether they are individuals, families, or the beloved animals who are often silent witnesses to adversity. Together, we work toward a future where every life is valued, and every voice is heard.
An Australian-first initiative to create an equitable way of life for individuals overcoming adversity.
We proudly state we are a faith-based organisation. So,what does that mean?
Faith takes on a profound significance when you’ve faced unimaginable trauma or escaped a situation you never thought you’d endure, even in your darkest nightmares. In the aftermath, everything feels fractured—your sense of self, your trust in others, and even your core beliefs.
Who do you turn to? Can you trust the system to support and believe you? Can you rely on your own decisions, your intuition, or the people closest to you to understand the depth of what you’ve endured? And what about the larger questions—your connection to something greater than yourself?
Whether you call it God, Mother Nature, the Universe, or something else entirely, you may find yourself grappling with the same questions: Why did this happen to me? If there’s a higher power, why didn’t they step in to protect me?
These questions can shake your faith to its very foundation.
At our core, we are here to help you rebuild—not just your life, but the very tools that anchor your faith in you.
Faith in yourself—in your intuitive, gut-driven wisdom and your ability to make decisions with clarity and confidence. Faith in the system—that it can and should support you in meaningful ways. Faith in the people around you—those who will walk beside you on your journey to healing. And faith in what you are connected to—a greater force or goodness that can inspire and guide you forward.
We believe in empowering you to rediscover these connections, to reclaim your sense of purpose, and to trust in a future where you are whole, strong, and deeply aligned with the power within and around you.

Our Mission
To build, connect, inspire and educate communities to be progressive and impactful towards enriching the safety, security and welfare of women in society.
- To alter the Australian societal landscape of domestic abuse whilst also substantially lowering the risk of homelessness in women by means of financial endowment and social purposefulness.
- To promote and foster positive attitudinal and behavioural change toward the elimination of violence and risk of homelessness.
- To provide transitional housing, emotional support, and a diversified continuum of services focused on safety, empowerment, and self-sufficiency.
- To raise awareness, provide services and educate community members through community partnerships and participation.
Our Why
The Equanimity Project® is a community based initiative as part of a national scheme. It relies on a bottom-up approach in harnessing and working within communities, services, and jurisdictions. To resolve an issue that is embedded in communities and provide the relevant support to resolve the issues.
By definition: The Equanimity Project® works everywhere and involves everyone. It operates equally in metropolitan areas where high housing prices make it harder for women to live alone and in rural areas where there is a lack of accommodation and support services.
The Equanimity Project® represents a:
- holistic approach involving a continuum of interdependent and interlinked strategies.
- whole-of-population initiative that addresses community conversation.
- change in the trajectory option for individuals.
- primary prevention project that targets the whole population and inevitably reaches those who are already experiencing violence or who are at risk of escalation.
- resolution whilst government and institutions target shifting attitudes and practices in society.
- community integrated system with prevention alternatives and mechanisms to reduce and respond to early signs of violence and escalation, preventing a recurrence and reducing longer-term harm.
- society-wide message that there is an alternative and violence is not acceptable.
With a decrease in the welfare of women, economically and socially, it should now be a matter of urgency to reduce the risk and deliver a solid, community supported initiative to resolve this societal humiliation.
The Equanimity Project® will create a framework of opportunity where resolution “becomes everyone’s business”.
