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 FundraisingWhy We Lift: Dan’s Story
Some emotions are simply part of being human. Anger, resentment, stress—we all feel them at different times. The challenge is what happens when men keep those emotions bottled up. As Dan explains, “If you keep going and hold all those things inside, then all of us… things are just going to get worse.” That’s why […]

Community FundraisingWhy We Lift: Matt
[TW: SUICIDE] For Matt, the Lift the Load Challenge represents something deeply personal. Behind the vest are years of lived experience, loss, and a drive to change the culture around men’s mental health. In his younger years, Matt struggled with anger and bottled-up emotions. Like many men, he felt the pressure of stigma – the […]

At Top Blokes, our values shape everything we do – from building connections with young men to creating spaces where they can grow.
Youth worker Dave wrote a song inspired by the Top Blokes values:
– Be authentic
– Lead by example
– Open to vulnerability
– Keep being curious
– Empower others
– Show empathy
It’s his way of showing that these values aren’t just something we talk about, but something you can live by every single day. Big thanks to Dave for reminding us that values hit hardest when you make them your own.

Illawarra Top Blokes Tee Off ⛳️
At our recent Grad Club event, these Top Blokes from 3 schools across the Illawarra came together to explore what it really means to have each other’s backs.
Through our Level Up: Support A Mate workshop, the boys learned how to look out for their friends and be there when it matters most.
It was great to see the boys from different schools connect, share their experiences, and learn from each other – before heading out for some friendly competition on the golf course.
“You could see the boys really thinking about what it means to step up for their mates, and that’s something they’ll carry with them.”
Big thanks to the schools, staff and students who made this day one to remember. And @portkemblagolfclub for hosting.

For Lucy, being a Youth Worker at Top Blokes means holding space for conversations most people would shy away from.
“What’s special about this work is being able to sit with young men in those tough moments, start the conversation, and give them the confidence to carry it on with their mates.”
Every day, she helps young men gain the tools and confidence to live healthy and safe lives.

“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about him.”
After losing a close friend to suicide, Matt is determined to break the stigma that keeps so many blokes silent. He knows how heavy it can feel to just “crack on,” and how brave it is to open up about what’s really going on.
For him, Lift the Load isn’t just a challenge. It’s a way to stand alongside people who are doing it tough, to remind them they don’t have to carry the weight alone.
Every step and every conversation builds a community where men feel safe to speak up and get help when they need it most.
