All funds raised support Doncare

Doncare is a not-for-profit community services organisation that has operated in the Manningham community since 1969. Doncare provides counselling for families and children in crisis; prevention, support and recovery following family violence; specialist intake and risk assessment; integrated family services; case management; emergency relief; social support for seniors and financial and material aid.

What happens if the event is postponed due to Covid-19?

Due to the coronavirus, and its potential impact on events, Doncare will follow the directions of the Australian Government and the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services. Ultimately, if social distancing is mandated and effects Bramleigh Estate’s capacity to host the event or the keynote speaker is unable to travel to Victoria due to border closures, Doncare will postpone the event. In the event of a postponement, tickets will automatically be transferred to the new date, and ticket holders will be given the option of a refund.
