CoRE’s History

The Communities of Respect and Equality (CoRE) Alliance celebrates a significant anniversary in 2026: 10 years! We are tremendously proud of everything our CoRE members have achieved over the past decade, and of the community’s ongoing commitment to creating safe, equal and respectful places for all.

We invite you to dive into CoRE’s history, key milestones, notable impacts, and multiple achievements from a wide range of member organisations from all across the Grampians region. Our CoRE Alliance 10 Year Anniversary report is available here.

As we look to the future, we are excited to be thinking about the next iteration of the CoRE Strategy, exploring new ways of working while maintaining our focus on collaboration, intersectionality, equity, evidence-informed practice and accountability as we lead this crucial work.

Our vision for the future remains a safe, equal and respectful society for everyone – where women and their children live free from gender-based violence and every person is valued, heard, respected and empowered.

Evaluating CoRE

Women’s Health Grampians has been evaluating CoRE’s impact since it began in 2016. We regularly reflect on how the model could be adapted to better meet the needs of its members and to strengthen actions to promote gender equality.

Read our latest evaluation of the second CoRE Strategy 2021- 2025 here, or enjoy this short video overview.

We also track progress across four key gender equality indicators for our region – Education, Employment and Economic Security, Leadership and Decision-making and Home, Family and Caring Responsibilities – as part of our Gender Inequality in the Grampians report series. This vital work informs both our programs and our ongoing advocacy work on behalf of the Grampians region. Learn more here.
