Grace Tame

Grace Tame is a name that most people know.

Rewriting both the Tasmanian and Northern Territory Evidence Acts in 2020, being the 2021 Australian of the Year, and included as a Next Generation Leader by Time Magazine in 2022, Grace uses her platform to create positive and immediate change as an outspoken advocate for survivors of sexual assault.

From age 15, Grace was groomed and raped by her 58-year-old maths teacher, who was found guilty and jailed for his crimes. However, under Tasmania’s sexual-assault victim gag laws, Grace couldn’t legally speak out about her experience – despite the perpetrator and media being free to do so.

In 2018, Grace was a key member of the Let Her Speak campaign, which aimed to abolish victim gag laws. In 2020, the campaign was successful, and the law was reformed through the Supreme Court of Tasmania. 

Grace has also written a memoir titled The Ninth Life of a Diamond Miner, as well as starting a foundation in her name to continue her advocacy work to end child sexual abuse.
