Special Guest Speaker
Phil Cleary, VFA legend and family violence activist
Since the murder of his sister in 1987, VFA Legend Phil Cleary has been at the forefront of the campaign to stop violence against women. It is widely acknowledged that Phil's books, newspaper articles and media commentary were pivotal in the abolition of provocation laws in Victoria and the change in attitudes. In 2015 he was appointed to the state government’s Victim Survivors’ Advisory Council, a body charged with overseeing the rollout of the recommendations of Royal Commission into Family Violence. Phil speaks regularly with community groups, schools, sports clubs, businesses and government bodies on the role they can play in ending violence against women.
