About men’s health

Australia is home to over 12.5 million men, making up nearly 50% of the population. While Australian men enjoy healthy living, various health challenges impact their overall well-being, including lifestyle-related conditions, mental health concerns, and access to healthcare services. Many Australian men are proactive about fitness and well-being, but factors like poor diet, high-stress levels, and lack of regular check-ups can contribute to health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart conditions. Mental health is an essential part of overall well-being, and stress from work, family, and life pressures can take a toll, making it important for men to have access to support networks and professional care when needed. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and routine health check-ups play a crucial role in maintaining long-term health, as many health issues can be prevented or managed effectively through early detection and lifestyle changes.
