LEARN is about trying new things, discovering strengths and feeling part of a supportive workplace and a real pathway to employment.

She walks through life with music in her ears, but the work Katherine “Kat” Berney is doing is changing what people hear when they speak up.

A survivor of domestic abuse, Kat has turned her lived experience into systems change, now leading prevention of gendered violence at FARE. Her work is about more than awareness. It’s about shifting the structures that allow harm to be normalised, and creating a future where people are believed, supported, and able to thrive.

“I believe you. You matter. You are so deeply loved.”

This is a story about courage, kindness, and the power of using your voice to change what comes next.

There are some events we don’t just promote… we genuinely believe in. This is one of them.

We’re proud to share that our founder, Heidi Prowse OAM, is the keynote speaker at the Home. Hope. Horizon. Charity Luncheon, hosted by Karinya House.

This event brings together people who care deeply about what it takes to support women through some of life’s most vulnerable moments, pregnancy, early parenting, and the realities of domestic violence, homelessness, and financial hardship.

For over 28 years, Karinya House has stood beside more than 2,800 women in Canberra. Not just with services, but with dignity, safety, and ongoing care.

Heidi will be sharing reflections on what it means to build communities where people feel safe, supported, and seen. Drawing on both lived experience and years working across mental health, disability, and community services.

If you’ve been part of the Purpose Media CBR community, you’ll know this is exactly why we exist. To make support easier to find, and to shine a light on the people doing the work.

Canberra’s Digital Health Record is being called a “game changer”… but is it your experience?

The ACT Government has just released new data showing how the Digital Health Record is improving care across our public health system.

We’re talking:

✔️ Fewer unnecessary blood tests
✔️ Faster access to results
✔️ Better communication between doctors
✔️ Fewer medication errors

On paper, it sounds like a system that’s making healthcare safer, faster, and more connected.

But here’s the real question…

What has your experience been like?

Have you:

Used the MyDHR portal?
Received results faster?
Felt more informed about your care?
Or… found it confusing, hard to access, or not quite working as promised?

Because behind every stat is a real person navigating the system. We’ve broken down what’s being reported, what it means for you, and the questions we should be asking next. Read our latest stories via the website purposemediacbr.au

Tell us honestly, has the Digital Health Record improved your experience? Or do we still have work to do?

They’re not just talking about science… they’re changing who gets to be part of it 💡✨

Meet Isabel Richards and Ella McCarthy, the co-founders behind Sci_Burst, building a future where knowledge is accessible, hopeful, and for everyone.

From inspiring the next generation of girls and non-binary students, to challenging who gets called an “expert”, their work reminds us that science isn’t something distant… it’s something we all belong to.

“Science is for everyone!”

And maybe, just maybe, the future isn’t as dystopian as we’ve been led to believe 🌱

NEWS ALERT: Southern Canberra Toll Proposed

The ACT Government has announced a proposed toll crossing for vehicles entering Canberra from Tuggeranong, signalling a major shift in how local infrastructure could be funded.

Motorists travelling northbound would pass through a new toll point, with early designs reflecting Canberra’s iconic bus stop style. While pricing is yet to be confirmed, the Government says the move aims to manage congestion and fund road upgrades as the southern corridor grows.

A spokesperson for the Minister said:

“This initiative is about reinvesting directly into community wellbeing. Revenue generated from the southern toll crossing will support the development of a new dog park in Woden.”

Community consultation is expected to follow, with details to be refined based on feedback.

And if you’re thinking this feels… unexpected…

Happy April Fools.
