Ben became an advocate for improved services for LGBTQ victims and survivors of domestic violence (DV) after discovering the gap in services himself when he experienced abuse within a same-sex relationship. In May 2020, Ben founded the inaugural LGBTI Domestic Violence Awareness Day which aims to bring a greater awareness of domestic violence and abuse in these communities. He was inducted into the inaugural Queensland Government Domestic & Family Violence Prevention Honour Roll this year.
