Men's Health Week

International Men’s Health Week, recognised annually each June, is a health awareness campaign to support the health and wellbeing of men and boys around the world. In Australia, the official promotion and coordination of national Men’s Health Week is overseen by the Centre for Male Health at Western Sydney University.

This year, Men’s Health Week Australia runs from Monday 9 to Sunday 15 June 2025. The 2025 focus is See Your GP, encouraging men to prioritise their health by booking regular check-ups and seeking professional support – not just relying on the internet or advice from mates. It’s a reminder that looking after your physical, social and emotional wellbeing starts with showing up for yourself and taking action early. This week is also a great time to reflect on how you’re supporting your own health and how you can encourage the men and boys in your life to do the same.
