Men’s Health Week 2026
Men’s Health Week is recognised around the world each year in June as an important opportunity to start conversations about the health and wellbeing of men and boys in our communities.
In 2026, Men’s Health Week will be held from 15–21 June, with the Australian theme focused on a simple but important message:
See a GP.
Men’s health is not only about physical health.
It is also about mental health, emotional wellbeing, stress, fatigue, lifestyle, and having the confidence to seek help early.
Research continues to show that men are at higher risk for many serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety and su***de also continue to disproportionately affect men, yet many still hesitate to speak up or book an appointment.
This week is a reminder that looking after your health should never be seen as weakness.
It is responsibility.
It is leadership.
It is self-respect.
And it is something we should encourage more openly in our workplaces, families and communities.
During Men’s Health Week, we encourage men to:
Book a general health check.
Take regular exercise.
Pay attention to stress and fatigue.
Speak to someone if they are feeling low or overwhelmed.
Support a mate who may be struggling.
Seek help early instead of waiting until something becomes serious.
Sometimes the strongest thing a person can do is simply make the appointment.
This June, check in with yourself.
And check in with the men around you.
