Tailor your Club Interaction
With around 84 Rotary Clubs in District 9510, stretching across South Australia, Alice Springs and the Sunraysia region, there is a great deal of diversity, yet a consistent passion to work collaboratively to reduce incidents of Domestic Violence in our community.
Any Rotary Club can get involved in our Saturday 11 October 2025 Walk for Respect, plus our other educational, awareness and support projects.

It is easy for Your Club and individual members to Register to be a part in the 2025 Walk for Respect in one way or another. We'll be back in touch with your Club individually very soon.
Your Club's help with any or all of the following will be appreciated:-
club option
Promotion
Spread the word about Rotary's determination to build awareness of the scourge of Domestic Violence, the need to stamp it out and our Walk for Respect .
Include article(s) on your Club Website or posts in your Social Media feeds.
If you have a mailing list, perhaps send some Emails to your members and followers.
From this page, you are able to download Promotional Posters that can be printed and disseminated around businesses or public places in your Club's catchment area, including your regular meeting venue(s). Keep a list of those who display the posters, as our committee would like to acknowledge their support on this website.
You may have other ideas and we'd love to hear them. Some of our Clubs are getting very creative about spreading the word ... and we love it.
For support with any form of promotion and marketing,
please contact Bill Marles on 0410 523 106 or via marketing@WalkForRespect.au
club option
Reach out to your Local Domestic Violence Group
Around most of our Rotary Clubs, there are magnificent groups working at the coal face to support survivors of Domestic Violence, both direct physical abuse and the pressure of Coercive Control.
Reach out to such a group and encourage their participation in our 2025 Walk for Respect. Simply connect them with our District Walk for Respect Committee.
That DV Group could walk behind their own customised banner. Your Club members could walk with them, both to support them by swelling their numbers and also to build a partnership with them.
Financially, we have found that some DV organisations / groups struggle to afford the modest investment price to design and print their banners. Would your Club consider sponsoring their involvement by investing $550 to cover all of their out-of-pocket costs. PLUS - we can then add your Rotary Club's Logo to their banner to highlight that partnership.
To talk through the options, please contact Bill on 0410 523 106 or marketing@WalkForRespect.au
club option
Parade Banner
In 2024 we had about 30 bright and colourful 2m wide banners walking down King William Street - bold and beautiful - promoting Rotary and the various Domestic Violence support groups / agencies that participated. Your Club is welcome to have its own banner. Pricing is $550 that not only includes the individualised design and physical production, but also additional marketing promotions such as inclusion on this www.WalkForRespect.au website.
Please note that after the parade, you can use your banner at other events you attend to continue promoting the "Say NO" message. Plus if you walk again in 2026, you'll be able to reuse it then, as many other DV groups who walked last year will do in October this year.
club option
Walk
Simply be there on Saturday 11 October, Parade Day, to walk either behind any Group Banner or a banner personalised for your Club. We're hoping to attract the TV Media to build awareness of Rotary's message and Rotary itself. Spread the word and encourage as many people to walk as you can:-

Media Awareness
Many Clubs have built strong relationships with different media outlets over the years, including local
We encourage your Club to share the word about Rotary's "Say NO" programme, with these contacts encouraging them to get behind us and, in turn, spread the word with their audiences.
Whatever your Club is able to do, we'd appreciate you letting our Committee know by either emailing through details of your efforts to marketing@WalkForRespect.au or giving Bill a call on 0410 523 106. Thank you.
club option
Club Sponsorship
Running a Parade of this magnitude comes with an array of costs ranging from Council fees; professional sound systems; educational and promotional signage; safety & first aid; performers; marketing and more.
If your Club can pledge any amount of $$ to help us build the promotion and professionalism of the Parade, we would greatly appreciate it and we'll ensure your Club is promoted on the www.WalkForRespect.au as a supporter, plus we will work with your Club as closely as possible to realise other opportunities.

Share Stories and Events
www.WalkForRespect.au offers Rotary an opportunity to promote our Clubs, their projects and the local Domestic Violence support groups they interact with.
You can supply stories or event details to our team to be included for free on this website. It's a great way to promote good news stories and coming events your Club or these local Groups are running.
Collectively, we can build interaction with the wider community and attendance at coming events.
club option
MERCH - T-shirts / Polo Shirts / Hats
National Workwear have partnered with Rotary to offer a great range of quality "Say NO to Domestic Violence" apparel.

Connect with your Local Businesses
The Rotary Club of Balina-Richmond in NSW started this Say No to DV initiative back in 2018. At the time, their Club had around 25 members. Today, they've connected so well with their local businesses that their membership has swollen to in excess of 3 times that number.
Now, with this close relationship with their local community, many of their local businesses observe Purple Shirt Thursday - wearing our Say No to DV Rotary Shirts to spread the word. An amazing success.
In South Australia, we've launched A3 posters with the Rotary DV Branding on it, including YOUR Club Logo and a space to promote a local business' logo.

Contact Bill Marles on 0410 523 106 or marketing@WalkForRespect.au for more info on how we can support your club with this initiative. Maybe you too can swell your membership while helping to build the Say No branding around your local area.
help us tell your story for FREE
We'll promote your Club's DV Project!
Many Rotary Clubs across our District are already strongly involved with projects that support Domestic Violence survivors and/or Organisations that run programmes.
But unless you tell us about your project, we can't help you to build further awareness and interaction.
Please share your stories with us to include in the Updates section of our website. We can include a nice story - with photos - videos - links to relevant other sites + more.
We can include "call-to-action" messages to encourage readers to connect with your Club in whatever way you may need.
Contact Bill Marles on 0410 523 106 or marketing@WalkForRespect.au for more info on how we can support your club with this initiative.
