One in five Aussies (22%) has not arranged to catch up with a close mate in six months or more, potentially putting them at risk of social isolation, loneliness and even mental health issues, according to Movember. A YouGov survey released today coincides with Movember’s official day of mateship, MAYEIGHT.

In addition, the survey found that 28% of people say they haven’t organised a proper catch up because they are too busy, while men are twice as likely as women to admit they are not good at organising catch-ups.

13.11.2020 Early detection key to prostate cancer treatment. Have symptoms? Don't delay
A report released today by Cancer Australia has shown a notable national reduction in services for a range of both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for prostate cancers during the initial COVID-19 period March to May 2020, with decreases in some total monthly services ranging between 25-41%.

13.11.2020 Early detection key to prostate cancer treatment. Have symptoms? Don't delay
