Davitt Award sponsors & supporters

As ever, Sisters in Crime Australia is hugely indebted to our major sponsor, Swinburne University of Technology’s Media and Communications Department. We thank them for their support.

Swinburne Media and Communications Dept

Swinburne University of Technology’s Media and Communications Department offers a wide array of courses from TAFE to post graduate and the list can be found here. If you’re thinking of upgrading or adding to your skills then there is a course here for you – online and face to face.

For the first time, in 2025, winners of the Davitt Awards received prize money, thanks to a generous donation from former convenor Leslie Falkiner Rose and the Ruffin Falkiner Foundation.

In 2026 Sisters in Crime will be raising funds to ensure that this recognition of women’s writing in Australia can continue.
