Mitchell Hardy
Community Champion for THE STAND
NO MORE's new initative calling on 90 organisations to create a Domestic Violence Action Plan in 90 days. The campaign honours the more than 90 women in the Northern Territory who have been killed due to domestic and family violence since 2000, and empowers communities to take practical steps toward safety, respect and equality.
With over 25 years of sport and recreation industry experience, including the last thirteen years working in leadership and executive positions within state and territory government sector. Through Mitch's work he has led the strategic delivery of sport and recreation at state and territory level, through the implementation of government priorities and aligned national strategies. As a former Australian Representative in Rugby Union, volunteer, coach and parent, he is pleased to support THE STAND.
Supporting THE STAND means a lot to me as a father of two and married for over 30 years, I have seen first hand the impacts domestic and family violence can have on families and children. We talk about sport being a place for everyone and through sport we can instill a place of community sport and belonging. Our role is to support those that are not only impacted by DFV but teach people through sports values the impacts domestic violence and reduce harm to families.
