Bernadette Blair and Next Steps Australia
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
In this powerful episode of The Glitter Effect, we meet Bernadette Blair, founding board member and chair of Next Steps Australia, a compassionate force supporting women and families escaping domestic and family violence.
Bernadette shares the emotional journey behind the creation of the organization — from her early experiences as a school principal to heartbreaking stories from family members in the medical field. The defining moment came when she learned of an extreme case of violence that compelled her to take action.
Founded on the belief that everyone deserves dignity and a second chance, Next Steps Australia provides practical support such as Manchester (linen) packs and parenting essentials to help survivors rebuild their lives after leaving crisis accommodation.
This episode is a conversation about resilience, hope, and community-driven action, showing how small, thoughtful acts can lead to life-changing impact.
