Welcome to the Top Blokes family!
We believe that all boys and young men deserve to build strong foundations for positive mental health, no matter who they are, or where they come from.
That’s why we’re building a youth-led movement for change.
We picture a future where young blokes like you define what it means to be a top bloke. A future where you’re not just surviving; you’re thriving.
Find out how you can be part of a better future for boys and young men.
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.

Strength and resilience
We’re flipping the script on what it means to be strong. It’s not just about muscles or acting tough. It’s about being resilient, showing empathy, and being true to yourself. That’s what true strength means.
We’re challenging stereotypes, striving for a world where you and your mates live life to the fullest. Our commitment goes beyond breaking molds; it’s about reducing suicide rates, curbing anti-social and risk-taking behaviours and making positive mental health our foundation.
We’re here to guide your growth, show you how to harness your strengths and create a future where you take centre stage.

Community FundraisingThe boys’ influence on each other positively impacts the community.
“The influence that the boys in our room have on each other definitely expands out to their community in a really positive way.” Vin, for anyone who hasn’t heard of it, what is Lift the Load? Lift the Load for Mental Health is a month-long challenge to wear a 10kg vest and walk or run […]

Michael is a youth worker and Regional Coordinator with the Top Blokes Sydney team. Every week, he sees what can happen when boys and young men are given consistent space to talk, reflect and be heard.

Top Blokes newsWhat actually draws young men towards harmful ideas. and how to pull them back.
At the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, two Top Blokes set out what radicalisation really looks like for young men today, and what an effective response requires. Antisemitism, radicalisation and extremism are usually discussed in the abstract – as ideologies, as threats, as things to be countered. What’s harder to find is a […]

The program was finished. The barbie was on. And the guys were still having a yarn.
Pretty good sign, really.
At our final session with @natural_landscaping_au the guys talked about what had actually stuck with them.
For one, it was understanding his partner’s mental health a little better and thinking about how he could support her.
For another, it was recognising some things in his own behaviour that he’d previously brushed off but now wanted to work on.
There were conversations about masculinity too. They talked about what strength looks like, the expectations men carry, and making a bit more room for things like care and empathy.
Even budgeting got them thinking beyond dollars and cents: where their ideas about money came from, what they actually want from it, and whether their spending matches that.
That`s the bit that takes time. These weren’t conversations we walked in and had on day one.
They came from showing up week after week.
Having a laugh. Getting to know each other. Building trust. Then, slowly, getting into some of the bigger stuff.
That’s why long-term mentoring matters to us. It gives conversations time to grow and gives the guys time to work out what all of this actually means in their own lives. Work. Home. Partners. Mates. Life.
Congrats to our latest Natural Landscaping Top Blokes graduates.

“I think I’m the worst in the grade.” That’s what one boy told Vin.
But when Vin got to know him, he saw something very different.
Respectful. Patient. Open. Curious.
Sometimes young people have already decided who they are based on what they’ve been told, how they’ve been treated, or what’s happened at school.
Sometimes they just need a space where someone sees something different in them.
That’s the work Vin sees as a Top Blokes Youth Worker and mentor.
A boy sitting at the back with his head down who slowly joins the group.
A young man who starts sharing what`s going on for him that he normally he would hide.
A Top Blokes graduate who takes what he’s learned and uses it to look out for his mates.
“The influence that the boys in our room have on each other definitely expands out to their community in a really positive way.”
That’s why Vin is lifting the load this October for Mental Health Month because he sees the work and impact every day.

There’s a difference between working in a community and really knowing it.
Keely lives and works in the Illawarra South Coast, right where she mentors young men.
She knows the schools. She knows the community. And, over time, she gets to know the boys too.
Keely says:
“They know themselves better than we ever could.”
So we’re not there to tell them who to be.
We listen. We notice what they’re good at. We back them. And we give them chances to take what they’re learning out into the real world.
Maybe that’s stepping into a leadership role.
Maybe it’s getting involved in a community event.
Maybe it’s simply backing themselves a little more.
And because we’re there for the long haul, we get to see those little things grow.
Plant the seed. Give it some time. See what happens.
That’s what mentoring looks like.

He was the funny one in the room. Then he told us why.
During one of our recent workplace programs, one young man had a habit of cracking a joke whenever things got a bit uncomfortable.
Then came our masculinity session and the mask activity – looking at what we show people on the outside, and what might be sitting underneath.
On the front of his mask was the funny guy. On the back, he wrote about insecurity, peer pressure, partying, alcohol and the pressure he felt around what a man is supposed to be.
And then he shared it with the room. That was the moment things shifted for everyone.
One person being real made it a little easier for everyone else to be real too. The group opened up. Our mentors shared some of their own experiences. The conversation went deeper.
He didn’t stop being the funny guy. He just understood a little more about what the jokes were doing for him.
Now this group has graduated from our Top Blokes workplace program.
We’re incredibly proud of the way these young men showed up, backed each other and got stuck into some pretty big conversations along the way.
What they`ve built over the past 10 weeks goes with them into their teams, friendships and life outside the program.
Congrats to our latest RAAF Amberley Top Blokes graduates.
