Strategy & Governance Lead
WHAT IS PINK CROSS FOUNDATION AUSTRALIA?
Pink Cross Foundation Australia is a survivor-founded not-for-profit organisation focused on education, digital awareness, and national advocacy addressing sexual exploitation, online harm, and coercive control.
Pink Cross operates as a non-partisan, secular charity. The organisation does not align with any political party, religious doctrine, or spiritual framework, and is committed to serving the broader Australian community through evidence-based education and public safety initiatives.
Pink Cross delivers evidence-based courses, digital safety programs, and awareness initiatives that protect young people, empower women, and equip communities with practical tools. The organisation also provides trauma-informed therapeutic support through the Be Your Best (BYB) Clinic, offering guidance, referrals, and community connection.
Our mission is to promote safe, respectful human relationships and work toward a world free from commercial sexual exploitation.
