Australian Championship, Movember launch $500k fundraising initiative for men’s health

·

The Australian Championship and Movember have launched a new fundraising initiative during the tournament’s inaugural season to change the face of men’s health in the Australian football community.

Building on a partnership confirmed at the Australian Championship season launch and built on shared values of connection and wellbeing, the campaign sets an ambitious goal to raise $500,000 across Football Australia and all Australian Championship clubs.

Every dollar raised will help fund programs that support men to stay mentally and physically healthy and ensure fewer lives are cut short for preventable reasons.

Through the Australian Championship, Movember is uniting players, coaches, officials, and fans to make a tangible impact by having conversations that matter and turning their passion for football into real change for men’s health.

Since its beginnings in Melbourne in 2003, Movember has grown into a global movement and the world’s leading men’s health charity. The organisation tackles key health challenges head-on, including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Backed by funds raised by the Movember community, the charity is harnessing the influence of the Australian Championship to help young men build stronger support networks, foster positive culture, and speak up about mental health challenges.

Join the movement and help raise $500,000 to change the face of men’s health
