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.

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.

Michael is a youth worker and Regional Coordinator with the Top Blokes Sydney team.

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 […]

What are we asking young men to carry?
Be tough.
Fit in.
Don’t show weakness.
Work it out yourself.
Those messages can add up.
This October, Lift the Load for Mental Health challenges some of those expectations and helps more young men access mentoring, connection, and support.
50km. 10kg. One month.
Walk it solo. Rally your mates. Build a team.
Help create better conversations for the next generation of young men. 💚

“I’m more accepting now, and I think it’s made it easier for other people to accept me.”
This one stayed with us.
Two of our mentors were reflecting on what boys had taken away from the program when they came across this.
And honestly, it says a lot.
We talk with young men about difference, stereotypes, discrimination, empathy and what it means to be an upstander. Not to lecture them. Not to tell them what to think.
But to give them space to ask questions, challenge assumptions and hear different perspectives.
Sometimes the biggest shift is this:
Feeling more accepting of other people can make it easier to feel accepted yourself.
That’s when you know the conversation has gone somewhere.
Speak with young men, not at them. 💚

Great to see Special Envoy for Men’s Health @danrepacholi MP putting our Lift the Load for Mental Health vest to the test this week.
He was out and about joining the Firies Climb for MND at Nulkaba ParkRun.
We’re not sure Dan made it look quite as easy as the firies did 😅 – and to be fair, he had a lot less weight to carry than the firefighting crew.
But what really matters is why they were there.
Showing up for two important causes – raising awareness for MND research, and helping us start more conversations and provide early intervention, prevention and support for young men.
Thanks for carrying the extra load, Dan and good luck to the Firies taking on the Firies Climb for MND this weekend. 💚

What we accept, challenge or speak up about can shape what becomes “normal”.
And that can happen anywhere. In a classroom. In a team. At work. In relationships. Out in the wider community.
We’re currently working with a group of young men from @natural_landscaping_au, and Michael, who leads the workshops with Tom, has noticed something pretty special in the way they show up for each other.
“There’s still plenty of banter, but when someone shares something, everyone listens. There are no put-downs. They encourage each other, and there’s no hesitation in sharing their own experiences.”
There’s a real mix of guys in the room too. Younger guys, older managers, brothers, even a dad and son.
And the managers are right there in the conversation.
They’re sharing their own experiences, being open, and giving the younger guys space to do the same.
Recently, some of the conversations have been around relationships, respect, abuse and what it means to be an upstander.
Not just recognising when something crosses a line, but thinking about what you actually do when you see it.
Do you laugh along?
Do you let it slide?
Or do you say something?
Michael says the guys are really leaning into those conversations, and they`re continuing that outside the workshops too.
That’s the bit we love. Young men showing up and standing up, and putting it into practice.
Big credit to the team at Natural Landscaping for investing in their people and the culture they’re building.
And to the guys in the room… thank you for the trust, honesty, consistency and openness to get involved.
If you have young men in your workforce, get in touch.
