Why Top Blokes?
We’re an Australian charity committed to building a future where every young male, regardless of background or where they live, can stand tall with a strong voice, unwavering belief in himself and a sense of belonging. In every school, across every state, we want boys and young men to learn the skills and have the space to build resilience, empathy, and wellbeing.
Strong mental health and positive masculinities are the foundations we stand strong on to ensure more young males across Australia flourish, creating a ripple effect of positive change for communities everywhere.

Why young men?
We need a new deal for boys
Dive deep into the statistics, switch on the news or read the headlines. It’s confronting.
75% of all mental health disorders occur by the age of 24. The rate of male suicide in Australia is alarming; 3 out of 4 suicides are male. 90% of young people in detention are male. 1 in 6 women have experienced violence by an intimate partner and 1 in 9 men experience physical or sexual abuse before the age of 15.
It’s clear. We need a new deal for boys and young men and a better outcome for communities across Australia.
