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.

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 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 […]

Help us create a world where no one feels like they are on their own. Be part of our movement.
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.

If we’re creating programs or advocating for young men, we need young men to shape them.
Pretty simple, really.
At the first meeting of our new 2026/27 Youth Ambassador Council, we asked the boys why they wanted to be there.
“To make a difference.”
“To be a voice for young men.”
“To learn from the experiences of other people.”
“To build safe spaces where they can grow.”
And one young man spoke about finding “a really strong sense of belonging.”
This is why youth voice is such an important part of our work.
We can research. We can listen. We can draw on years of working alongside young men.
But we also need to hear directly from them about what’s happening in their lives, what matters to them and what they think needs to change.
The Youth Ambassador Council creates a space for those conversations and gives our young people a genuine opportunity to help shape what Top Blokes does next – in programs, in advocacy, in policy and research.
Youth voice shouldn’t just be something we ask for. It should be something we act on. We are listening.

“We were a little unsure how the lads were going to take it.”
Fair enough.
Bringing a mental health and wellbeing program into a workplace can feel like a bit of an unknown.
But a few weeks in, Trent from @natural_landscaping_au started noticing something.
The guys were still talking about the sessions well after they’d finished.
Big topics were coming up back at work. Communication was improving. And the conversations were carrying on.
“One of the biggest things that we’ve taken from it is that it’s started a conversation amongst our guys.”
That’s what long-term mentoring can do. Not just create a good session. Create something that sticks.

We’re halfway through Lift the Load for Mental Health, and the stories coming through have been pretty special.
People are honouring loved ones. Giving back. Paying it forward. Checking in on mates. Workplaces and schools are taking it on as teams, while thousands of individuals are putting on the vest and doing it their own way.
So far, more than 3,500 people have joined us, and together we’ve raised an incredible $610,000 for young men’s mental health.
Last week, our team got out and about too, taking on 50km for $50k on the Central Coast.
Led by Top Blokes Ambassadors Kieran Foran and Dr Justin Coulson, we were joined by Mick Ostini from Impact Gym, NRL legend Justin Horo, Liam Foran, Matt Vella, the legends at Woy Woy Rugby Club and Jai – one of the very first young men to ever take part in Top Blokes and Caiden – one of our current Top Blokes. And countless other legends who popped in along the long route. And don’t forget our Founder and MD, Mel also clocked up the kms with Dan too.
The community support was huge. The conversations were real. And the passion for backing boys and young men was fierce.
To everyone who has walked, donated, shared, checked in on someone, or rallied a team around them, thank you. You’re showing young men they don’t have to carry everything alone.
There are 15 days left.
We’ve already come a long way.
How far can we go together?
