2015 Australian of the Year and family violence campaigner Rosie Batty is Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas' guest speaker at their upcoming 'Lunch with Rosie Batty' event next month.

Rosie has become a leader in the crusade against domestic violence, launching the Luke Batty Foundation and turning her personal tragedy into a fight to help others.

Join Rosie at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas' newly refurbished bar and restaurant, View Restaurant, from 12.30pm to 3pm on Friday 5 August and be moved by her story of resilience and courage, as she shines a light on an issue that demands Australia's attention.

Tickets are $85 per person and include a glass of sparkling wine and canapes on arrival, a two-course lunch with wine, as well as charity raffles and auction.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Luke Batty Foundation, Mantra Group's official charitable partner.

Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas General Manager Steve McPharlin said Rosie brings awareness to a social issue that can affect everyone.

“It's an issue that should receive greater profile and support, and we're proud to help build awareness to this cause,” he said.

“Our upcoming event is one of many across Mantra Group's Australian hotel network as our team continues to hold fundraising activities in our respective regions.”

Along with fundraising events, Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas also donates $2 per day from every day delegate package sold to the Luke Batty Foundation to help them continue their meaningful work.

In the past year, Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas has contributed more than $17,000 to the Luke Batty Foundation through various initiatives.

Mantra Group is a proud supporter of the Luke Batty Foundation, as passionate advocates against family violence. The foundation brings awareness to the social issue of domestic violence. It works to achieve empowerment of women, give voices to the children and hold accountability to the perpetrator through education, advocacy and campaigning.
