  • Lisa Harnum Day 2025

    Sydney, NSW – 23 June 2025 – This July and August, the Lisa Harnum Foundation will bring its annual awareness campaign, Lisa Harnum Day, to two major Sydney shopping centres, transforming public spaces into powerful hubs of education, family-friendly fun, and visible solidarity against domestic violence.

    In partnership with Amazon Australia volunteers, the Purple Nail Tribe Campaign will activate vibrant community stations at:

    • Westfield Hornsby: July 24–26, 2025
    • Rouse Hill Town Centre: August 1–3, 2025

    Members of the public are invited to paint one fingernail purple in a symbolic act of support against domestic violence and coercive control, while making a $2 gold coin donation to the Lisa Harnum Foundation. The simple but powerful act promotes awareness of emotional abuse, coercive control, and the need for early intervention — issues at the heart of Lisa Harnum’s tragic story.

    Lisa Harnum Day is about remembrance, action, and visibility," said Aileen Mountifield, Founder of the Lisa Harnum Foundation. "By painting one nail purple and donating a gold coin, we're asking people to show up — not just with money, but with heart, conversation, and solidarity.

    The Purple Nail Tribe is about changing the conversation — especially with men. “When men step forward publicly, they help redefine strength as empathy, respect, and accountability. One purple nail says: ‘I see the issue, and I stand for change.

    Each Purple Nail Tribe Station will feature:

    • Nail-painting stations with trained volunteers
    • Free face painting and balloon giveaways for kids
    • Retailer promotions including complimentary coffee, donuts, and special discounts
    • A chance to meet local ambassadors and special guests (to be announced)

    The Lisa Harnum Foundation hopes to engage thousands of Sydneysiders through these events, raising critical funds for its domestic violence prevention and recovery programs — and sparking conversations across all ages and genders.

    The campaign also seeks to attract media coverage and support from high-profile male role models, local businesses, and families ready to stand for change.

    One Purple Nail. One Golden Coin. One Powerful Message.
