Supporting locally-led responses to family and sexual violence in Papua New Guinea
Message from our Chair
What a momentous year! We have witnessed turmoil across the globe, the evident impact of climate change across all continents and island nations and unprecedented withdrawal of USAID funds to international development initiatives including key organisations and projects in the Pacific and PNG.
In the midst of this turmoil and uncertainty FemiliPNG Australia (FPNGA) has stayed the course, holding true to our mission to support our partner organisation, Femili PNG (FPNG) to lead, shape and implement frontline responses to Family and Sexual Violence (FSV) in Papua New Guinea. Our work would not be possible without the continuing recognition and support of our funding partners, including the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and Mundango Abroad, and the generosity of individual donors and supporters. They have recognised that FPNGA has an important role to play in supporting the finance and compliance, reporting, fundraising, IT and evaluation work of FPNG, enabling them to steward more resources to where they are needed most – effective responses to victims/survivors of FSV. Together- these organisations and individuals are partners in the work to address family violence in PNG.
For the last three years our work at FPNGA has been led by our CEO, Lauren Hallett. Lauren has served the organisation with distinction, building a small but mighty team, embedding effective governance, fostering an enduring partnership with FPNG and sharing our learning and expertise with others across the International development field in Australia. After three years with us Lauren has decided it is time to pursue other opportunities. We are thankful for her work, the legacy she leaves us, and wish her well in her next chapter.
As we look to the coming year we are excited to announce the appointment of our new Executive Director, Jocelyn Condon. Jocelyn comes to us from the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) where she has been for the last 9 years, most recently as Chief Operating Officer. She brings deep expertise to the next phase of our work at FPNGA, that will include: a new partnership agreement with FPNG to advance our work together, a new Strategy for FPNGA, a renewed commitment to fundraising; and ANCP re-accreditation. There is much work to do and we feel privileged to do it.
Message from our CEO
This year has reminded us why resilience and partnerships matter. In a time of global uncertainty and shifting priorities, FemiliPNG Australia has continued to focus on what endures — our commitment to supporting Femili PNG as they lead the response to family and sexual violence in Papua New Guinea.
Our role is to strengthen what sits behind effective frontline work: sound governance, transparent systems, reliable funding, and continuous learning. These foundations enable our partner to reach more survivors, advocate for systemic change, and deliver high-quality services that transform lives.
Over the past year, Femili PNG’s case management teams in Lae, Goroka, and Port Moresby have provided critical support to more than 1,100 women, men, and children. Their professionalism and compassion in the face of immense need continue to inspire us.
FemiliPNG Australia’s work is made possible by many — our Board, whose strategic guidance keeps us steady; our donors and partners, whose generosity sustains us; and the individuals who continue to believe in a future free from violence.
As I conclude my time as CEO, I am deeply proud of what we have achieved together — a strong organisation built on trust, partnership, and shared purpose. I am confident that under Jocelyn Condon’s leadership, FemiliPNG Australia will continue to grow and deepen its support for Femili PNG and the communities they serve.
Our vision: A strong and sustainable Femili PNG working towards a Papua New Guinea free of family and sexual violence.
Our mission: To be an effective, efficient, and ethical organisation supporting local solutions to family and sexual violence in PNG.
Supporting local solutions to family and sexual violence
Every person is born with equal rights – yet for many around the world, these fundamental freedoms remain out of reach. In 2015 the United Nations Adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development setting out a shared vision for a fairer and more peaceful world. At FemiliPNG Australia, our work is deeply connected to Goal 5: Gender Equality.
We know that progress on every Sustainable Development Goal depends on ensuring women and girls can live free from violence. Violence against women and girls is one of the most pervasive human rights violations globally – affecting one in three women worldwide, and two in three women in Papua New Guinea. Behind each of these numbers is a story of resilience, courage and hope for change.
Our role at FemiliPNG Australia is to provide specialised technical expertise that strengthens Femili PNG’s frontline services – helping to build systems, share knowledge and amplify their impact. Every day, Femili PNG’s dedicated staff support survivors to rebuild their lives. Through their Case Management Centre in Lae, their Outpost in Goroka, and as the Operator of the Bel isi PNG Case Management Centre and Safe House in Port Moresby, Femili PNG provided life-changing services to 1,184 people. Each person represents a step towards a safer, more equal Papua New Guinea – and a world where human rights are realised for all.
Femili PNG’s Impact Snapshot – 2024-25
It is important to note, follow-up consultations take many forms and may involve a range of contact methods. These consultations can include engagement with clients, family members, friends or other service providers. Femili PNG are increasingly supporting complex cases, which require more intensive and ongoing follow-up.
Our support to Femili PNG: Building on solid foundations
FemiliPNG Australia recognises that local people, local communities, and local organisations are best placed to respond to the needs of Papua New Guinean families. We aim to be a good partner, providing technical expertise, governance, and financial support to assist Femili PNG to increase their organisational capability and impact. In February 2025 FemiliPNG Australia celebrated a milestone 10 years of partnership with Femili PNG.
The technical support provided by FemiliPNG Australia enables Femili PNG to streamline internal processes, operate more effectively and strengthen transparency. Through this partnership, we are helping to build a resilient and adaptive organisation that can respond to emerging challenges, scale its services, and continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by FSV in PNG.
Some highlights from 2024-25 include:
- Securing additional funding for FPNG to expand their reach and services
- Initiating a formal evaluation of the Femili PNG Goroka Outpost, with a final report due in December 2025.
- Providing specialist information technology (IT) training, and
- Releasing a short film about the life-saving and life-changing work FPNG is providing to survivors of family and sexual violence (FSV) and sorcery accusation related violence in PNG.
- Signing a new annual agreement shaping our work together for the coming year, a significant and positive development for our partnership.

Addressing vicarious trauma in Papua New Guinea: The Stronger Together project
Working in a professional service environment that assists traumatised individuals daily can take a significant toll on the health and wellbeing of staff at every level. These impacts are cumulative and may gradually build over time, impacting personal wellbeing, relationships with others, views about the world, other people and oneself. This is known as vicarious trauma.
FemiliPNG Australia has partnered with the Cairnmillar Institute to help build further valuable skills in casework supervision and healthy coping mechanisms for Femili PNG staff and other service providers. The Cairnmillar Institute is an Australian-based leading not-for-profit centre for psychological services, education and research. Through this partnership. Cairnmillar Institute provides pro-bono accredited training in PNG.
In 2024-25, FemiliPNG Australia worked with Femili PNG to secure the support of Palladium through the Kyeema ‘Our Communities’ fund for the Stronger Together project. This project addresses vicarious trauma among service providers in Lae, Port Moresby and Goroka, by equipping them with the skills needed to manage the emotional and psychological toll of their work. So far:
- 4 Femili PNG staff completed clinical supervision training
- 29 service providers in Lae and POM completed Mental Health First Aid training
- 16 service providers in Lae and POM completed counselling training
FemiliPNG Australia greatly appreciates the generosity of the Cairnmillar Institute, particularly CEO and Provost Professor, Kathryn von Treuer, and Course Director – Graduate Internship Program, Dr Renzo Vittorino. Participants have left their trainings feeling confident in their ability to be quality mental-health care providers in a context where access to mental-health support has been limited.
What is vicarious trauma? Vicarious trauma refers to the emotional and psychological stress experienced by individuals who are exposed to the traumatic experiences of others. Vicarious trauma is common in frontline services and helping professions, such as social workers, emergency services, and lawyers, all who regularly interact with individuals who have experienced trauma.
Supporting clinical and management strengthening: The Strongim Femili PNG program
The Strongim Femili PNG program provides professional development in management and leadership for present and future Femili PNG management staff, as well as clinical training for Femili PNG casework staff. The Strongim Femili PNG program was mainly delivered in 2023-24. In 2024-25, an additional 23 Femili PNG staff members completed accredited Mental Health First Aid training and 30 attended Introduction to Counselling training. This training was delivered by the Cairnmillar Institue.
Striving for excellence in locally-led development: The Goroka Outpost
Femili PNG’s Goroka Outpost is a beacon of hope for survivors in the Eastern Highlands, providing critical support tailored to the unique needs of the community. By addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by survivors of family and sexual violence (FSV), and sorcery-accusation-related violence (SARV) the Outpost assists survivors rebuild their lives with dignity and strength.
FemiliPNG Australia supports the Goroka Outpost through the Australian Government’s Australian NGO Cooperation Program.
The Goroka Outpost delivers comprehensive, locally-led support to empower survivors and strengthens community safety. Through continued community engagement, partnerships, and a holistic approach to care, the team works to meet the needs of the survivors.
In 2024-25, the Goroka Outpost assisted 168 survivors – a 35.5% increase from the previous year. To meet this growing demand, Femili PNG recruited an additional case worker to support the expanding workload.
Femili PNG collaborates closely with local service providers, offering training and resources that strengthen the local response network. The Goroka Outpost frequently handles complex cases, including survivors of SARV which accounted for 28% of all cases in 2024-25. During the year, the team facilitated one complex case conference to addressing two SARV cases, and continued to convene regular stakeholder meetings to ensure coordinated and effective support for survivors.
What is Sorcery Accusation-Related Violence (SARV)? SARV occurs when people are accused of using sanguma (sorcery), this usually happens after times of hardship. For example, when someone dies, becomes ill or faces financial difficulties, another person may be accused of causing it through sanguma.
International Women’s Day: Celebrating strong women in leadership
This International Women’s Day (2025), we celebrated the strong female leadership at Femili PNG and highlighted the Goroka Outpost Project Manager, Elly Toimbo. Since Elly’s appointment, the Goroka Outpost has significantly strengthened the coordination with other service providers. According to Elly, “there are a lot of people all over PNG taking action to improve things on the ground. At Femili PNG, we don’t only see the problems, we sometimes are part of the solution. And that keeps us going.” Read more about Elly here.
In 2024-25, 78% of survivors at the Goroka Outpost were female. Every survivor’s story is different; caseworkers work one-on-one to provide personalised care and support to help survivors access the full range of services they need.
Rayleen*, who, after years of marriage, was living in fear of her husband. She was connected with the Police Family and Sexual Violence Unit (FSVU) who referred her to the Femili PNG Goroka Outpost for further support. A caseworker was assigned to Rayleen, and they worked together to create a plan and move her case forward.
FPNG helped Rayleen find safe housing and apply for an Interim Protection Order, which was successfully granted with the support of the Police and FPNG. Due to ongoing safety and health concerns, Rayleen and her caseworker decided it would be best for her to return to her biological family.
Rayleen qualified for repatriation assistance. Her caseworker helped her locate her family, gather medical supplies, and travel to her home village. She also received a business start-up kit to help her generate an income. Rayleen is now reportedly happy with her family, and her health is improving. Read more about Rayleen’s story on the Femili PNG website here.
We congratulate the Goroka team on another successful year of services. You can read more about the Goroka Outpost here.
The Goroka Outpost project is supported by the Australian Government as part of our ANCP grant.
The Seif Haus (Safe House) Project: Strengthening Safe Accommodation for Survivors
Safe Houses are essential to the work of Femili PNG, enabling them to provide safe havens for survivors, their children and families.
In 2024-25, FemiliPNG Australia supported Femili PNG to undertake a project to enhance the safety and functionality of emergency accommodations for survivors of family and sexual violence (FSV) and sorcery accusation-related violence (SARV). This project, Seif Haus, improved facilitates at three safe houses.
The Seif Haus project was supported with funding from the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, Canberra, which enabled the purchase of materials for:
- Household plumbing and repairs
- Kitchen repairs
- Interior maintenance and improvements
- External improvements
- Installation of a children’s playground
- Installation of external security lights
- Installation of a security fence
At one site, materials were used to construct a new safe house in a more appropriate location, enabling the safe house to better to meet the increasing demand for safe accommodation.
FemiliPNG Australia further contributed support to the costs of labour for the construction and installation activities.
In 2024-25, Femili PNG made a total of 423 referrals to safe accommodation for survivors across their three locations.
Celebrating 10 years of Femili PNG
In August 2024, the FemiliPNG Australia Board travelled to Port Moresby to celebrate Femili PNG’s 10th anniversary. During our visit, the FemiliPNG Australia Board joined the Femili PNG Board in a historic, first-ever joint meeting. This milestone gathering allowed both Boards to discuss future directions and reaffirm our shared commitment to strengthening services for survivors of family and sexual violence in Papua New Guinea.
In addition to the joint meeting, the FemiliPNG Australia team met with the Australian High Commissioner to PNG, HE John Feakes, and connected with the Femili PNG staff who manage the Bel isi PNG Case Management Centre in Port Moresby. These discussions highlighted the impactful work of the Femili PNG team and reinforced the essential partnerships that drive our shared mission.
The FemiliPNG Australia Board joined the Femili PNG Board in the first-ever joint meeting .
FemiliPNG Australia was also pleased to sponsor and participate in Femili PNG’s Gala Night, an evening dedicated to celebrating Femili PNG’s achievements over the last decade. More than 400 individuals attended this remarkable event, with 17 companies sponsoring this event. Read more about the gala night in Femili PNG’s newsletter here. As part of the festivities, FemiliPNG Australia supported the production of a powerful 10-minute video, which was shown for the first time at the event, illustrating the impact of Femili PNG’s work on communities across the country.
Other ways we marked the occasion 10-years of Femili PNG:

Fundraising for impact
At FemiliPNG Australia, we remain committed to building a strong and sustainable support base to champion the vital work of addressing family and sexual violence in Papua New Guinea. The continued support of donors, advocates, and community members is essential to sustaining our efforts and meeting the challenge of reducing violence against women and girls.
In 2024–25, our fundraising was strengthened through community events such as the Wounded Warriors film screening, the #RunforFemiliPNG team’s participation in the Canberra Times Marathon Festival, and ongoing support through coffee and bilum sales. These initiatives, along with targeted donation campaigns, played a crucial role in supporting service delivery in PNG.
We extend our sincere thanks to all our supporters across Australia whose generosity and engagement make our work possible. Together, we support Femili PNG to build a future where every survivor can access the services they need.
Canberra Times Marathon Festival: #RunforFemiliPNG
On Sunday, 13th April 2025, the FemiliPNG Australia team took part in the Canberra Times Marathon Festival, running and walking to raise awareness and funds for family and sexual violence services in Papua New Guinea. Together, the team raised an outstanding $41,686.
This achievement was made possible through the dedication of 33 passionate participants – including three members of the Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF) – and the generous support of their family and friends. Their combined efforts secured FemiliPNG Australia’s position as the event’s top fundraiser for the fourth consecutive year.
Following the marathon, a special morning tea was hosted at the Papua New Guinea High Commission, generously sponsored by the PNGDF. Read our press release here.

Awareness raising: Wounded Warriors film screening
In September 2024, FemiliPNG Australia hosted a screening of the film Wounded Warriors in Canberra. The film was brought to life through a collaboration between Papua New Guinea Women’s Association of Victoria and the PNG-Australian film crew at Zolard Media as part of the #ItsNotOurCulture campaign, funded by the Victorian State Government.
The film offered a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of intergenerational violence on communities in Papua New Guinea, emphasising that trauma — not culture — is the root cause of these harmful cycles. It also highlighted the critical role of perpetrators in breaking the cycle of violence. At the conclusion of the screening, FemiliPNG Australia facilitated a question and answer session with Micheline Erbes from the Papua New Guinea Women’s Association of Victoria, as well as Olive Sergeant, Joyce Vali, and Richard Sergeant from Zolard Media.
The filmmakers hope that Wounded Warriors will spark meaningful dialogue and foster a deeper understanding of violence in PNG, helping to break down barriers and inspire change.
Award winning coffee: A win for women in PNG and FemiliPNG Australia’s work
This year FemiliPNG Australia celebrated three years since the launch of Femili PNG Coffee, a growing initiative that has resonated with coffee lovers across Australia.
Our premium coffee beans are ethically sourced from the Ukuni Women’s Association, a women-led cooperative in the remote Mul-Baiyer district of PNG’s Western Highlands.

Fundraising that showcases the talents of PNG Women: Bilums
Bilum weaving is only a craft of deep cultural significance, but also a vital source of economic empowerment for many women in PNG.
The Survivor made bilums sold by FemiliPNG Australia are handcrafted by women who are living in safe-houses or accessing Femili PNG’s services in Goroka, Port Moresby and Lae.
Each bilum sold helps sustain Femili PNG’s life-changing work with survivors of violence. Explore our collection and find a bilum that resonates with you here.

Financial overview
Where did our funds come from?
In 2024-25, FemiliPNG Australia’s revenue decreased by 34% to $882,631 (down from $1,335,733 in 2023-24). The reduction was mainly due to the completion of activities under the Strongim Femili PNG Program, funded by Newcrest, which was primarily delivered in 2023-24. Income from coffee (which makes up 78% of our “commercial activity”) increased by 34% to $58,489 (up from $43,520 in 2023-24).
Where did our funds go?
In 2024-25, FemiliPNG Australia’s total expenditure decreased by 27% to $885,889 (down from $1,205,959 in 2023-24).
Our total spend on International Programs was $151,242. Of this, 66% was transferred directly to Femili PNG to support service delivery at the Goroka Outpost. The remaining funds were used for technical and organisational development support, continuing professional development for Femili PNG staff (under both the Strongim Femili PNG Program and Goroka Outpost Project) and renovation costs for the Seif Haus Project.
The increase in program support costs to $371,402 (an increase from $293,892 in 2023-24) reflects the expanded delivery of our technical assistance activities, including production of the short film, enhanced project monitoring and evaluation, strengthened IT support and training, and ongoing financial and compliance services.
Commercial expenditure increased in line with commercial income, reflecting the costs of sourcing and shipping the roasted beans from our roaster in Canberra.
We spent $109,534 managing our ANCP grant from the Australian Government (down from $122,651 in 2023-24). This includes managing the annual project cycle, maintaining compliance with ANCP and preparing for re-accreditation activities in 2026.
