Twenty-two years ago, we started Movember with a simple idea: get a few mates to grow moustaches and start a serious conversation about men's health that no one else was having. Today, that idea has grown into a global men's health movement, and those moustaches have funded more than AUD $1.8 billion in prevention-focused work across mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
At its heart, Movember has always been a grassroots, community-led movement. It belongs to everyone who grows, donates, shares and participates. And what unites us all is simple: men are dying too young, and that's not good enough.
That's why we partner year-round with communities, researchers and governments to back what works and help men live healthier, longer lives. Because when men and boys are healthier, everybody wins.

Movember started as a bristly idea between mates: grow moustaches, raise some money, and get people talking about men’s health. Today it’s a global movement powered by millions, sparking important conversations and making men’s health impossible to ignore.
Every whisker represents lives changed and lives saved. Here’s how you can take part:

Start clean-shaven on 1 November and grow a moustache. Start conversations, raise awareness, and fund life-changing projects.
MOVE FOR MOVEMBER
Set a movement goal — walk, run, cycle or swim — and get sponsored to support men’s mental and physical health.
HOST A MO-MENT
Throw a BBQ, quiz night, or morning tea to raise funds with your community.
MO YOUR OWN WAY
Take on a personal challenge or creative project to fundraise in your own style.
DONATE
Give one-off or monthly, and chat to your workplace to see if they’ll match your donation or fundraising efforts.
Whether you’re one of the millions of men or their supporters who grow a Mo, move your bodies, or host your own Mo-ment, you’re helping men all over the world live healthier, longer lives.
