Bid on the Hon. Anne Aly’s ‘Lost Flowers’ Midwinter Ball Gown

This one-of-a-kind gown was hand-crocheted by the Minister herself over six months and features 64 flowers. Each flower is in heartfelt remembrance of the 64 women who were killed in senseless acts of gender-based violence last year.

The dress will be worn only once, to the Press Gallery Midwinter Ball, to ignite conversations with Federal Parliamentarians about the national crisis of violence against women. It will then be auctioned off to raise funds for Orana House. In short, this gown is a piece of history in the making.

All proceeds from the auction will go directly towards funding the frontline against FDV at our SWitCH Centre: Supporting Women in the Community Holistically.

Testimonials from our SWitCH program participants

‘It made me not only see the cycles I was in, but also the cycles my daughter is caught up in and therefore I’ve been able to guide her more effectively.’

‘The best thing was discussion, sharing experiences, venting out in a safe space and being given helpful advice.’

‘My children now feel like they can approach me with a lot more ease and confidence, knowing that Mum will not just shut their feelings down; instead I welcome what they have to say.’

Testimonials from our SWitCH program participants

‘Let me tell you, it’s not easy…everyone is still on edge or so damaged they don’t know which way is up. That’s why, for me, Orana staff were a Godsend, they weren’t hurt or angry or guarded; they were calm and offered a listening ear, some small advice and support.’

‘When we moved into the community, Orana staff would call me to see how things were. Their support and understanding parenting my daughter was very helpful.’
