Story Bridge will be lit Green to support the Eve of Light Australia Green

"Light Australia Green" is a campaign designed to increase national awareness and understanding of cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and often overlooked cancer. By bringing patients, caregivers, clinicians, and community members together, the campaign aims to shine a light on the challenges faced by those affected, promote earlier recognition of symptoms, and strengthen support networks.
By highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and access to care we aim to empower patients and families, reduce isolation, and foster a stronger, more informed community that can drive better outcomes across Australia.

This Light Up is organised by: Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Australia

Story Bridge will be lit Pink to support Small Steps For Hannah

The 19th of February 2026 remembers the 6th anniversary of the murder of Hannah and her children Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey, and mark the culmination of the 19 days of Handstands campaign, which starts on the 1st February. This day raises awareness of the prevalence of domestic and family violence in Australia, and to honour all who have experienced it. You are not alone.
Small Steps 4 Hannah was founded after the murder of Hannah Clarke and her children to work to end domestic and family violence in Australia. The foundation advocates for legal and social change, provides educational programs on coercive control and respectful relationships, funds community organisations and initiatives, and supports those who have experienced domestic and family violence in their own lives.
