Todaybreak at Women Deliver 2026

Women Deliver is the global gender equality conference. Every three years it brings thousands of people into the same room. Advocates, policy makers, frontline services, funders, researchers, and First Nations leaders. This year it lands in Narrm (Melbourne) from 27–30 April under the theme Change Calls Us Here.

It matters because it's where the global sector takes stock, makes commitments, and builds the relationships that move the work forward, across the full breadth of gender equality work.

Todaybreak works on one part of it. Many organisations are working to end gender-based violence. Ours is the enabling infrastructure that lets coordinated response actually function.

Women Deliver is a conference for people rolling up their sleeves and doing the work. Our name is built on the same instinct: do something, today, to break harmful cycles. So we're coming with something concrete to share — what we've learned so far, in programs running right now in Australia and Canada.

How we work

Good practice, strong standards, trusted data, practitioner expertise, survivors at the table. The sector has been calling for all of it for decades. What's been missing, in most places, is the infrastructure that lets those things function together in real conditions. That's where Todaybreak works.

We build the enabling layer that puts purpose-built technology to work for the sector. The operating models, governance, partnerships, and shared standards that turn specialist tools into functioning sector-wide responses.

Practice, standards, technology. The three together make coordinated, survivor-centred response possible. Services working together when the situation calls for it, and independently when it doesn't.

We lead some programs ourselves. The Safe with Milli Program is ours, operating across Canada and Australia.

We partner on programs that others lead. In the CLEAR Project in Western Australia, Anglicare WA leads delivery and Todaybreak is the program steward.

And across every program, we partner with specialist technology providers to bring the technology layer the sector needs.

What that looks like in practice

It looks like workflow systems that carry the logic of trauma-informed practice, so individual workers do not have to hold it all in their heads during a crisis, and survivors do not have to repeatedly tell their story.

It looks like tools such as the free Milli app that put information, safety planning and choices directly in the hands of survivors, with informed consent travelling with them across agencies.

It looks like reporting that drops from 40 hours to minutes, freeing time for the work that actually matters.

It looks like agencies operating from a shared operational floor, so the quality of response does not depend on which door a survivor happens to walk through.

What this looks like across our programs

The Safe with Milli Program brings together nearly 50 frontline organisations across Canada and Australia. Victim Services, family violence services, sexual assault centres, police, Indigenous organisations, shelters, and legal advocates. They share practice, share operational standards, and use the same purpose-built tools to coordinate. Three Community Hubs have already formed organically as services recruited their own partners into the model.

The CLEAR Project is Western Australia's expression of Safe with Milli, and a direct result of what the pilot demonstrated was possible. Lotterywest committed $3.47 million to CLEAR after seeing what the Safe with Milli pilot delivered in WA. Anglicare WA leads delivery, with Todaybreak as program steward. WA already has the frameworks for coordinated family and domestic violence response. What it has lacked is the infrastructure to make those frameworks function reliably across services. CLEAR addresses that directly.

These are not pilots or proofs of concept. They are working programs, with results we can show you.

Reach out to us

If you're also at the conference, we'd love to meet.

We want to talk if you are funding GBV programs and asking why they are not landing the change they were designed to deliver.

And we especially want to talk if you are running programs or leading frontline work that would be transformed by the right technology and infrastructure being in place.

That is the work we exist for.

You can reach us at partners@todaybreak.org, or look for our Co-CEOs Kirstin Butcher or Brad Birt on LinkedIn to set up a meeting.
