We’re better than that
Central and Eastern Sydney PHN funded a series of videos starring male role models from actor Benny Turland from the Neighbours to Bondi Rescue’s Bruce ‘Hoppo’ Hopkins and celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge who share their message to all men: ‘We’re better than that.’
The We’re better than that video campaign promotes healthy relationship strategies and raise awareness about different forms of abuse. They highlight how we all have a responsibility to act as active bystanders when we witness any forms of abuse or inappropriate behaviour.
