Service
Our club is proud of its commitment to supporting women in our local community and abroad.
At a local level, we support our community by providing:
- Basic household items for inclusion in the Independent Living Kits distributed through Sera’s Women’s Shelter
- Personal Hygiene Items distributed through the Inpatient Youth Mental Health Unit
- Packs of personal items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap etc distributed through the Domestic Violence Resource Centre
- Provision of Domestic Violence Support Number posters which are distributed throughout public toilets in the Townsville Region. These posters detail services available for people experiencing domestic and family violence.
- Provision of Zonta Breast Cancer Care Cushions.
At an international level, each year we purchase and pack hundreds of birthing kits from Birthing Kits Australia. These vital kits make a life saving difference to the lives of women who do not have access to medical facilities in countries all over the globe.

Advocacy Initiatives
We are proud to announce two advocacy projects for 2025. They are:
Sponsorship of Queensland Virtual Stem Academy and 2 x Student Bursaries
This is an exciting project. QVSA fosters STEM projects for primary school children who may not have access to this level of learning. We are very excited to be able to offer two primary school children graduating into high school a $500 bursary by way of gift voucher which will allow them to purchase necessary equipment to continue their STEM journey through QVSA.
Financial Literacy Workshops
Another very exciting project. The two local Zonta Clubs will be working in partnership with QCWA Ross Lea and Magnetic Garbutt clubs to bring a series of literacy workshops to all women. This initiative came from the QCWA proposition paper – Finding A Better Way. Keep an eye out for the events on our events page.
This is the first collaboration of it’s kind but we look forward to many more
