Advocacy Zonta says YES to a world free of violence against women. We are a foundation member of Speak Up Now, a collaboration of local service clubs and organisations on the Blackall Range. Using advocacy, information, and public awareness, we aim to reduce domestic and family violence, and elder abuse. |

| Education Projects
We offer awards recognising young women at high school who excel in community service and leadership. Scholarships to assist with the costs of study are also available to women undertaking higher education, including at UniSC |
 |
| Fundraising & Special Events
Our projects are only made possible through generous donations and active fundraising including: the Zonta Hinterland Business Directory, plant stalls, raffles, and community events.
