Our Watch is an independent not-for-profit organisation, who is a national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia. They work to embed gender equality and prevent violence where Australians live, learn, work and socialise. One of the Co-Deputy Chairs, Ms Welgraven, an Adnyamathanha woman from the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia, is also a Board Director of Power Community Limited, the not-for-profit charity arm of the Port Adelaide Football Club, a Member of UN Women Australia and an Ambassador of the Hutt Street Centre in South Australia. She has also been inducted into the South Australian Women’s Honour Roll (2015) and represented the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Alliance at the UN Commission on the Status of Women (2016) in New York.
