Getting mates back in the same room.

The Mates Association was founded in 2023 after one mate recognised that too many of his mates weren't checking in with one another.

Determined to bring men's mental health to the forefront of everyday conversations, he created a community that encourages connection, promotes meaningful conversations, and reminds us all of the importance of looking out for our mates. Since then we have grown into a thriving community, hosting an annual charity ball across Brisbane, welcoming more than 2,000 attendees and raising over $50,000 for our charity partner and champion in the space, Movember.

Today we are building more than events, we are building a community. Through the annual Mates Gala, Walk & Talk events and local catch ups, we create opportunities for mates to connect and support one another, with every event raising vital funds for men's mental health and suicide prevention.

For our fourth year running, the Mates Gala will welcome 350 guests for an unforgettable evening celebrating community, connection and conversation, all centred around a single focus: positive change for men's mental health.
