🧡 Geraldton Events Calendar – 16 Days in WA
🧡 25 November – 10 December 2025

Geraldton's 16 Days in WA events calendar is full of community events, workshops and activities all created to bring people together and spark real conversations about respect, equality and safety in Geraldton.

We’d love to see as many people as possible come along. Every event is an opportunity to connect, learn something new, and show that as a community, we’re standing up against family and domestic violence. Your presence really does make a difference.

Whether you join in for one event or a few, wear orange to show your support, chat with your kids about respect, or simply call out harmful behaviour when you see it, it all helps build a safer community for everyone.

16 Days in WA is a statewide campaign that runs from 25 November to 10 December. It’s a time to raise awareness, take action, and recognise the organisations and people working every day to support women and families.

Take a look at the events calendar and come along. We’d love to see you there!

Today is about celebrating ability, raising awareness, and standing together to build an inclusive and diverse community for everyone.

🗓 3 December
Together, we create spaces where everyone belongs.

An estimated 1.3 billion people live with a significant disability today.

No one understands the needs of persons with disabilities better than they do themselves. To achieve a more inclusive and accessible world, people with disabilities must have a seat at decision-making tables.

Wednesday is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. https://www.un.org/en/observances/day-of-persons-with-disabilities
