On Friday 13 September, nearly 700 guests filled the ballroom at the Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart for the 2025 Stay ChatTY Gala Ball — a night of community, conversation, and generosity. We’re thrilled to share that together; we raised an incredible $102,615.23 in support of mental health awareness and suicide prevention across Tasmania!

This achievement belongs to every person who attended, donated, bid, shared, sponsored, or supported the night in any way. Each contribution helps us continue developing and providing initiatives and programs in schools, sporting clubs, workplaces, and communities statewide — helping more Tasmanians feel heard, supported, and connected.

Our deepest thanks

This event simply wouldn’t happen without the people behind it:

  • Our event sponsors and partners
  • Our prize donors, performers, MC and Auctioneer, and suppliers
  • Every guest who turned up, dressed up, and helped create a room full of energy and purpose
  • The Stay ChatTY team and volunteers who worked for months to bring the night to life

Your support goes far beyond one evening: it helps drive genuine change, conversation, and care throughout our community.

Already looking ahead…

While we’re still celebrating this year’s success, planning for the next Gala Ball is already underway..
And as always, the event would not be possible without the incredible organisations and individuals who come on board as sponsors.

If you or your workplace would like to be the first to hear about future sponsorship opportunities, we’d love to connect with you.

👉 To express interest, email us, and we’ll make sure you’re at the top of the list.

Thank you again to everyone who made this year’s Gala Ball such a powerful and meaningful night.
