About this cause

Judith Curphey
17.09.1929 - 31.10.2025

Girls from Oz, Co-Founder (2007 - 2025)
Australian Girls Choir, Founder (1984 - 2025)

Judith Curphey OAM was dedicated to nurturing the voices, confidence and potential of young Australian girls. As the Founder of the Australian Girls Choir and Co-Founder of Girls from Oz (g-oz), Judith believed deeply in the power of the performing arts to change lives.

Since 2007, Judith's vision and commitment has helped Girls from Oz reach and positively impact the lives of over 3,000 girls living in remote communities accross Australia. 

As of 2025, g-oz has delivered 178 Community Programs, 22 Travel Programs and 4 Reverse Travel Programs, harnessing the power of performing arts to keep girls in school and build on their confidence. Through g-oz programs, girls living in Western Australia's remote Kimberley region and Queensland's Cape York Peninsula have been supported with reliable and consistent high-quality performing arts education, transformative opportunities, and pathways to success.

The Judith Curphey Commemoration Campaign has been established to honour her extraordinary life and ensure that her work continues for generations to come.

Your donation will help us:

  • Deliver 16 transformative performing arts programs per year across four remote Australian schools
  • Keep girls in remote WA and QLD academically motivated and regularly attending school
  • Provide opportunities for girls to perform, travel and grow in their community and beyond
  • Empower the next generation of confident and bold young women through boosted confidence and self-esteem

Judith will be remembered for her fierce determination, honesty and conviction, and for the profound impact she had on the lives of thousands of Australian girls.

By contributing to this fund, you are helping to continue Judith's mission to make high-quality arts education accessible to all girls in Australia.

On behalf of the Girls from Oz Board, Chair and staff, thank you for your donation that helps us to carry Judith's legacy forward.

Vale Judith.
