Our work with First Nations
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men have much worse physical and mental health outcomes compared to all other men in Australia.
Movember is determined to address this by partnering with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations, to improve the way these men receive healthcare and support services.
Reconciliation Action Plan
Improving our knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and lived experiences is key to working with First Nations organisations to help close the health gap.
Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan lays the foundations to accelerate our cultural learning and awareness, foster relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations, and improve our workforce diversity.
Projects we fund
Connecting to culture and traditional ways of being are known protective factors for mental health and wellbeing.
Movember works with Indigenous communities in Australia, New Zealand and Canada to restore connection to culture across three areas: land-based programs, social connection programs and correctional services programs.
Community partnerships
Movember is dedicated to partnering with Indigenous communities in Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada to restore connection to culture. Our large-scale commitment to First Nations communities aims to tackle the alarming health disparities experienced by Indigenous men through holistic, community-driven approaches. To achieve better health outcomes, we must prioritise social and emotional wellbeing.
