Walk for WAGEC 2026
Sunday 13 September from 7am to 12pm
Every 11 days, a woman is killed by an intimate partner in Australia. Every fortnight, a child dies as a result of domestic and family violence.
It’s devastating. It’s unacceptable.
Join us to demand action and raise crucial funds to support women and children impacted by domestic violence.
Walk for WAGEC (Women's and Girls' Emergency Centre) is a 5km walk or 10km run raising funds for women and children impacted by violence.
We come together to walk for change and call for an end to Australia’s domestic and family violence crisis.
By walking for WAGEC and helping us raise $1 million, you are helping women and children access:
Emergency accommodation
Trauma recovery support
Specialist support for children
Violence prevention initiatives
This year, Walk for WAGEC is set to be our biggest yet.
Get ready for a vibrant community day with food and music to keep you moving, and activities for children and families – a space for everyone to show their support.
Registration opens from 7am onwards. You are welcome to arrive any time after 7am but we encourage you to leave enough time to enjoy the food and entertainment on arrival.
Formalities, including a Welcome to Country, opening speech, and warm up begin at 8am.
We officially begin walking at 9am.
