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.

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 StoryHe didn’t always believe in himself
As Lachlan Stuart prepares for his biggest challenge yet, the people who’ve been part of his journey are coming together to help him give young men something he wishes he’d had growing up. Growing up, Lachlan Stuart didn’t always believe he was capable of great things. Like a lot of young men, he struggled to […]

Top Blokes newsFrom first meeting to shared purpose
There’s always a bit of nervous energy when a new group comes together for the first time. That was definitely the case when our new Youth Ambassador Council met – young men in Sydney and Brisbane joining up for the day via video link. At first, things were a little quiet. Fair enough too. Most […]

Community StoryWhy Seth is Lifting the Load for Others
For Seth, the 10kg vest he is carrying this October represents something much heavier. “The vest represents the load that young men feel from mental health, and it’s something we can take off, but they can’t.” Seth is a former Top Blokes participant from Dungog High School. This year, he has signed up for Lift […]

“I think a lot of boys don’t wanna look like they’re struggling.”
One of the young men we work with said this. And it says a lot about why opening up can be hard.
We don’t want to look weak.
We don’t want to admit we’re struggling.
Sometimes we don’t even want to say, “I don’t know.”
But vulnerability doesn’t always mean sharing something huge. Sometimes it’s just being honest enough to say:
“I’m not sure.”
“I’m having a hard time.”
“I need a hand.”
At Top Blokes, our youth workers and mentors model that openness first.
They show young men that it’s ok to have emotions, it`s ok to struggle sometimes, and it`s ok not to have everything figured out.
When you tell a young person they need to open up, or be more vulnerable, that can be a hard concept to wrap your head around.
Sometimes they need to see what opening up looks like first. And trust that when they do open up, they are not met with shame. That trust takes time, but that`s where the real conversations start.

Everyone deserves someone in their corner.
For Matt, that person was his older sister.
Someone a little older. Someone he could trust. Someone who could give him advice, help him make sense of things and remind him he wasn’t figuring it all out on his own.
That experience stayed with him.
And it’s a big part of why he became a Top Blokes youth worker and mentor.
Matt knows what it feels like to have someone back you. Now he wants to give that same feeling to the young men he works with.
“The comfort that having a mentor brings you is something that I think is so important.”
Sometimes mentoring is as simple as that. Showing up. Listening. Offering a bit of perspective. And letting a young person know they’ve got someone in their corner.

He found a place where he could talk.
Now he’s helping make sure other boys get that same chance.
Beltran came to Top Blokes at a time when he was carrying a lot, including grief after losing a loved one.
What stuck with him most was having a safe space to talk about what was going on and learning that speaking up helped more than keeping everything to himself.
He also picked up practical ways to support his mates when they’re doing it tough.
Now, Beltran and a group of his friends are taking on Lift the Load for Mental Health together.
Their reason? To raise money so more Top Blokes mentors can reach more schools and more boys can get the support they need.
These young men got support, learnt how to back your mates, and now they`re choosing to pay it forward. We think that`s pretty awesome.
Only 5 days remain in Lift the Load for Mental Health. There’s still time to get behind young men like Beltran and help take that support even further.
Let’s finish strong. 💛 Head to the link in our bio.

When @lachlanstuart was growing up, he didn`t think he was capable of great things. He struggled to figure out who he was. He followed the crowd, tried to fit in and didn`t have the guidance to help him work out what he stood for.
Today, he`s a dad, and he wants something different for his son, and for other young men growing up.
That`s why Lachie is preparing to run 4,400km across Australia, raising $500,000 for Top Blokes Foundation.
And at his Long Lunch in Brisbane, we saw a whole community rally behind him. We saw a room full of people who believe in him.
Old schoolmates, workmates, people he`d met through running and people whose lives he`d helped change through mentoring. All coming together to back his next big challenge.
Our own team shared stories about the young men we work with, including one boy who, over two school terms, grew in confidence, learned to listen to others and went on to be recognised as the Top Bloke of his program.
It reminds us why we do what we do. Real change doesn`t happen in one conversation. It happens when people keep showing up. And that afternoon, the room showed up in a big way.
Together, they raised $20,000. Enough to support 27 young men through our mentoring programs.
There was plenty of laughter, generosity and encouragement, with Haesley Cush leading a brilliant live auction and a surprise performance from Sheppard adding to the atmosphere.
Lachie`s goal is to give 666 young men the opportunity to build confidence, understand who they are and shape their own futures.
And before he`s even started running, 27 young men are already set to benefit.
A huge thank you to Lachie and everyone who got behind him.
This is what happens when a community gets behind a cause they believe in.
The Long Road Home is only just getting started.
