Help us improve the health and wellbeing of men and boys
With the end of the financial year looming, please consider directing your support towards a cause that profoundly impacts our communities: men's health.
The Australian Men's Health Forum (AMHF) is the peak body for men's health in Australia. It is dedicated to addressing the unique health challenges faced by diverse men and boys across the country.
Our initiatives encompass a wide range of activities to improve men's health outcomes. While we receive funding from the Federal Government, we are a small team with limited resources. However, to continue our impactful work and expand our reach, we need additional financial support.
AMHF is at the centre of a broad network of individuals and organisations working together to tackle the social factors that shape men's and boys' health.
Our work falls into four areas:
1. We Raise Awareness by giving men the information they need to lead healthier lives. The popular Know Your Man Facts campaign gives people free resources to run events on men's health and share information that can save thousands of lives. Topics include Men's Health Checks, Diabetes, Men's Heart Health, Men's Mental Health, Mateship and the important role exercise plays in men's lives.
2. We focus on Best Practices in men's health and highlight programs and initiatives that are more effective at engaging men. Our free Guide To Male Friendly Services identifies some of the key characteristics common to health initiatives that work for men, both in Australia and overseas.
3. We Connect the Sector by running webinars that bring leaders in men and boys' health together through Men's Health Connected. Topics have covered a range of important issues from male suicide prevention to men's health literacy. We hosted these events online following the COVID-19 pandemic; however, AMHF plans to connect the sector again with an in-person Men's Health Gatherings in 2025.
4. We are involved in Decision-Making by influencing and advising Government on male health policy. We produce men's health reports and fact sheets, and have developed a charter for men's mental health. Our work supports a number of Government health policies including the National Men’s Health Strategy (2020-2030), which aims to improve the health of men and boys – particularly those at greatest risk of poor health.
Your donation to AMHF this financial year will directly support these vital initiatives. By contributing, you will be instrumental in the continuation and expansion of programs that save lives, promote healthier lifestyles, and empower men to take charge of their health. Your support will make a real difference in the lives of men and boys across Australia.
Together, we can make a tangible difference in men's and boys' lives across Australia.
