Annie North reflects on 10 since the Royal Commission into Family Violence in Victoria

As I commence my second week with the team at Annie North Inc, I am grateful for the warm welcome that I have received, and the privilege I have to be joining a feminist organisation committed to a vision where "all women and children live free from domestic and family violence and its consequences".

Annie North is delighted to announce the appointment of Michelle Crawford as Chief Executive Officer, commencing 9 February 2026.

On Friday 28 November at Chateau Dore, Annie North held a dinner to celebrate over 35 years of support for women and children in our communities. Guests included the Premier, Hon. Jacinta Allan who spoke, as well as current and former staff and Committee members, community services stakeholders, and other regular supporters of the critical work we do in our community.

A delegation of staff and Board members from Annie North was privileged to attend the Fifth World Conference of Women’s Shelters
