The issue

The link for the reform paper can be found at: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h1kcyr0ujy67g0q44zntm/A-Call-for-Reform-Mens-Mental-Health.pdf?rlkey=epmdb1os5xkprlza7gmroa9mk&st=8omdvg0f&dl=0

Advocating for:

  • More funding for men's mental health and suicide prevention
  • A National Male Suicide Prevention Strategy
  • A gender-neutral review of the Women's Budget Statement
  • Reformed data collection and public reporting
  • A family law system grounded in objective evidence

Australia now faces a national emergency that transcends political rhetoric: the escalating crisis of male suicide, social isolation, and identity fragmentation. Families fracture, children lose parents, and communities bear the long-term consequences of preventable deaths. Addressing this crisis demands a national response grounded in inclusivity, fairness, and empirical reality, not ideology.

We're aiming for 2,529 signatures, which accounts for every male life lost in 2024 — help us reach 2,529 and get this in front of decision-makers.

Takes 10 seconds to sign. It takes just one share to make sure this petition is seen.

Ange DimovskiPetition starterFor too long, men have been seen only as perpetrators, rarely as victims. No gender is entitled to more support than another. Urgent, gender-neutral mental health funding and policy reform are needed because every life is equally worth saving.
