On the 19th day of Movember 2024 it is good to remind ourselves of the following:
GET SUPPORT
GIVE SUPPORT
GO BEYOND BANTER
Being a man of more words is not about dialing up the banter. It is about carving out space for meaningful chats about the bigger stuff in life. From talking about the kids, the bills, a new job or a setback – the right conversation can make all the difference to a mate who might be struggling.
If we all dig a little deeper, we can help prevent more men from reaching a crisis point.

Suicidal behaviours are defined as thinking about or planning taking one’s own life (suicidal ideation) or attempting suicide.
Understanding the prevalence of suicidal behaviours in Australia is important as this may help to reduce stigma, increase help-seeking behaviour and improve suicide prevention activities.
Many people experience thoughts of suicide:
In 2023, there were 3,214 deaths by suicide. The age-standardised suicide rate was 11.8 per 100,000.
Three-quarters of people who died by suicide were male.
Men had a higher age-standardised suicide rate (18.0 per 100,000) than women (5.8 per 100,000).
Males aged 55-59 years had the highest age-specific suicide rate. Males aged 45-49 years accounted for the largest proportion of deaths due to suicide (10%).
Females aged 50-54 years had the highest age-specific suicide rate (10.0 deaths per 100,000). They accounted for the largest proportion of female suicide deaths (11%).
HELP US ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE IN 2024. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
People who experience suicidal ideation and make suicide plans are at increased risk of suicide attempts and those who experience all forms of suicidal thoughts and behaviours are at greater risk of dying by suicide

Moustaches have been shaved, leaderboards have been closed, and eternal glory has been achieved.
It is my great honour to announce the Top 5 from this year’s Mo University Challenge.
Collectively, this community of 1,353 Mo’s from 291 teams across Australia raised an incredible $285,386. Just unbelievable.
This is where change is being made. You are the people creating a better future for men’s health. So from the tips of our moustaches to the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every one of you for the wonderful impact you’ve made.
Keep on changing the world,
Josh from Team Movember

Some serious movement in the rankings, and even more serious funds raised, with the Mo Uni Challenge cracking $200,000 for 2023!
These funds go directly to lifesaving programs, helping men live healthier, longer lives. Every one of you has made that possible - thank you.
The leaderboards don't close until the 12th of December, so put in that final push and share those Mo Spaces far and wide! Could there be a late shift in the top 5?
Time to bring it home,

Wow oh wow. Halfway through and we are blown away by your support.
We've had 24-hour relays, 60km solos, moustache tattoos... and we're only getting started.
Uni Mo's of Australia, give yourselves a huge pat on the back and keep up the incredible work. A big couple of weeks of goodness on the way.
Inspired by you all,
