ABOUT US

Changing the face of men's health

Twenty-two years ago, we started Movember with a simple idea: get a few mates to grow moustaches and start a serious conversation about men's health that no one else was having. Today, that idea has grown into a global men's health movement, and those moustaches have funded more than AUD $1.8 billion in prevention-focused work across mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

At its heart, Movember has always been a grassroots, community-led movement. It belongs to everyone who grows, donates, shares and participates. And what unites us all is simple: men are dying too young, and that's not good enough.

That's why we partner year-round with communities, researchers and governments to back what works and help men live healthier, longer lives. Because when men and boys are healthier, everybody wins.

Changing the face of men's health

Moustaches love research

The Movember Institute of Men's Health is where community power meets evidence.

We bring together leading researchers, clinicians and partners from around the world to turn insight into action, improving the health and wellbeing of men and boys across the globe by backing what works and giving it scale.

Our focus is prevention and early action. As well as raising awareness for men’s health, we’re also improving services and outcomes so men get the support they need when it matters most.

Raise funds. Save lives.

Movember started as a bristly idea between mates: grow moustaches, raise some money, and get people talking about men’s health. Today it’s a global movement powered by millions, sparking important conversations and making men's health impossible to ignore.

Whether you grow a Mo, move your body, or host your own Mo-ment, you’re helping men all over the world live healthier, longer lives.
