Our Impact

Discover how we help young males lead healthy and safe lives

we’re on a mission

To challenge and nurture young males to be their best selves

Welcome to a world where resilience, empathy and self-respect reign supreme. Together we’re smashing stereotypes and reshaping the future of masculinities through long-term, evidence-based mentoring programs for 10-24 year olds. 

Join us in this exciting journey as we champion mental wellbeing, break down barriers and empower the next generation of Top Blokes.

Join the Movement. Wear the Change.

This isn’t just merch — it’s a statement.

Every piece represents resilience, strength, and the power to redefine masculinity for the better. When you wear our gear, you’re not just showing up in style—you’re standing up for young men and backing programs that build leadership, empathy, and mental resilience.

Who we are

We exist so more young males lead healthy and safe lives.

Our vision: mentoring boys and young males to redefine their notion of a ‘top bloke’ as resilient, empathetic and authentic. Our proactive, long-term mentoring programs offer tools for growth and wellbeing, fostering communities where trust, respect and multiple definitions of masculinity thrive. More than just an organisation, we’re mentors and allies, empowering young males to find their inner strength and lead with confidence.

How we do it

Lasting impact with expert guidance

Our long-term programs, led by qualified youth workers, are designed to create change that lasts, foster leadership and grow boys into adults.

We’re with them every step of the way as they navigate life’s challenges and become exemplary community members.

Tailored support from within Australian communities

We’re deeply rooted in the communities we service, offering tailored, evidence-based programs for boys and young men aged 10-24.

Our approach is local, so we understand and can address community-specific needs so every young male we work with gets the tools he needs to thrive

Empowering healthy masculinities

We focus on fostering positive, healthy masculinities and breaking free from stereotypes.

Our programs are dedicated to empowering young males to find their unique strengths, embrace their true selves, and positively contribute to their communities.

This month we are lifting the load and it is MASSIVE! 

These @vetosports weighted vests aren’t just for fitness - they’re a powerful symbol of the invisible burden some of us carry around everyday. By putting one on, we’re sparking conversations, raising awareness and showing support for young men’s mental health.

And together, we’ve already clocked over 50,000 km this Mental Health Month! 

A huge shoutout to our mates at Veto Sports for backing the movement and helping us get these vests to our supporters across the country. Their support has helped so many of us come together to lift the load! THANK YOU 🫶

We all experience emotions like anger, stress and sadness, it’s part of being human. 

But when we bottle it up and try to deal with it alone, it only gets heavier. That’s why we lift.

Lift the Load isn’t just about the weight on your shoulders, it’s about letting go of what you’ve been holding inside.

At Top Blokes, we’re helping young men check in with themselves and their mates early on, before things reach that breaking point. These small habits are where big change starts.
