For organisations, practitioners and advocates working to improve the health and wellbeing of men and boys, 2026 presents a full year of opportunities to engage, educate and connect.

Since the start of summer, 33 people have lost their lives to drowning in Australia, a stark reminder of a growing national safety issue.

The Special Envoy for Men and Member for Hunter, Dan Repacholi, has sent out his first bumper monthly e-newsletter to men called ‘Mate, You Good?’

Taking a month off alcohol is no longer a fringe health challenge. In 2026, more Australian men are choosing to pause their drinking to better understand how alcohol is affecting their health, energy and mental wellbeing.

More than 100 organisations supporting men and boys across Australia were recognised during International Men’s Day 2025 through a national spotlight series hosted by the Australian Men’s Health Forum (AMHF).

AMHF exists to support those on the frontline of men’s health: community groups, service providers, practitioners, researchers and advocates who work with men and boys every day.

2025 was the year that International Men’s Day entered the political mainstream, with politicians across the political spectrum marking the day in significant numbers for the first time.

Throughout 2025, the Australian Men’s Health Forum continued to bring you a broad range of men’s health news, publishing more than 100 news articles across four key websites (AMHF, IMD, KYMF and MHW).
