Wellness Walk 2026

As part of the Mental Health Month, the Wellness Walk is a family-friendly walk promoting mental health awareness and reducing stigma.

For over ten years, this event has raised more than $500,000 for essential mental health supports for Australians facing mental health challenges.

Walk with us to show your support for the hundreds of thousands of people experiencing mental health challenges who aren’t getting the help they need in their community.
