Celebrating Respect
Because everyone deserves a good time
Celebrating Respect is a positive, community-focused campaign from the DV2650 Network that puts one simple idea at the centre of our celebrations: everyone deserves to feel safe, included and respected.
Launching in November 2026, the campaign is part of DV2650’s Men As Allies project and encourages our community to think about the role respect plays when we come together, whether it’s at the races, a Christmas party, a barbecue with friends or a night out.
Celebrating Respect takes a prevention-focused approach. It creates an easy, positive way to start conversations about respectful behaviour and reinforces that looking out for one another should simply be part of having a good time.
Launching this November
Save the date for Celebrating Respect, coming to the Murrumbidgee Turf Club Race Day on Saturday 28 November 2026.
Join us for a great day out as we celebrate good times, looking out for each other and putting respect front and centre.
Keep an eye out for Celebrating Respect across the venue, with plenty happening on the day.

Good times are better when everyone can enjoy them.
