Movember is a men’s health initiative focusing on mental health and su***de prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Why men’s health? Globally, men die on average 5 years earlier than women, and for reasons that are largely preventable.

By men staying connected with their mates, checking in with them, talking more, knowing when to get checked for health conditions, and being more active, they can be more in control of their health.

Speak to your GP about learning more about men’s health.

Breast cancer is Australia's second most commonly diagnosed cancer, with over 20,000 Australians diagnosed this year. Devastatingly, each year, over 3,200 Australians will die from breast cancer. That’s someone’s mother, sister, friend or family member whose life has been tragically cut short because of the disease.

That’s why October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which aims to raise awareness and funds for much-needed research into breast cancer. Breast screening is crucial for early detection.
