The Social Justice Dinner is PIAC’s main fundraising event to support our work to create systemic change by tackling barriers to justice for people who are vulnerable and facing disadvantage. Guests will have the opportunity to win some fabulous silent auction prizes, and all funds raised will go towards PIAC’s social justice and human rights work. The 2021 event will be a virtual gathering of supporters to ensure COVID-safe participation.

Time: 8:00pm AEDT (approx. 45 minutes)
