Healthy Male Launches 'See Your GP' Campaign for Men’s Health Week
This Men’s Health Week (9–15 June 2025), Healthy Male and the Centre for Male Health have launched a new campaign urging men to prioritise their wellbeing and book a GP visit—before taking advice from people without medical degrees.
The “See Your GP” message is: Before you take everyone else's advice, talk to your doctor.
At the heart of the campaign is a new dedicated website: healthymale.org.au/see-your-gp, which provides practical tools to help men get the most out of their doctor’s visit. The site includes:
-
A GP visit checklist
-
Tips for booking appointments
-
Guidance on what to bring and which questions to ask
-
Alternatives when seeing a doctor in person isn’t possible
A major feature of the site is its service locator tool, which allows men to search for nearby general practices, men’s health clinics, sexual health services, mental health providers, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services.
The campaign also highlights key health check-ups men shouldn’t ignore:
-
Pre-conception health (before starting a family)
-
Heart health (over 45)
-
Bowel cancer screening and type 2 diabetes (from age 50)
-
Bone density (over 70)
-
Prostate cancer risk, particularly from age 50
This Men's Health Week, the campaign is calling on men to skip the amateur advice and get professional help. Whether it’s for a regular check-up or a new concern, the first step is simple: See your GP.
