Inaugural Fundraising Gala Dinner - Islamophobia Register

The Islamophobia Register Australia is facing a critical funding crisis.

Without urgent support, one of Australia's only solely dedicated and leading organisations responding to Islamophobia, hate and discrimination risks losing its ability to continue its vital work.

For over 12 years, the Register has been at the forefront of supporting victims, documenting incidents of Islamophobia, producing evidence that informs national research and public policy, and advocating for a safer, more inclusive Australia. Every report received represents a real person, a real experience, and a stronger case for meaningful change.

With only three part-time staff managing unprecedent levels of Islamophobia incidents, the time to lend your support is now. The future of sustaining the work of the Register depends on us.

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Aqua Luna Waterfront Dining, where purpose meets community. Enjoy a three-course dinner overlooking Sydney's stunning waterfront while hearing from inspiring leaders, changemakers and advocates committed to building a more inclusive Australia. 

Together, we will champion the Register's impact, hear powerful stories of leadership and resilience, and raise the funds needed to ensure this essential service can continue supporting those who need it most.
