Held in the Castlemaine Library foyer from 10 am to 2 pm on Monday 15 June and Wednesday 17 June, the event aims to raise awareness and encourage men to take positive steps toward better health.

Day 1: Monday 15 June – Active living and nutrition

The first day will focus on physical health, movement, and nutrition, offering practical ways for men to stay active and informed. Activities include:

  • LGBTIQA+ wellbeing support from 10 am to noon
  • Nordic walking demonstration from 11 am to 1 pm
  • nutrition, diabetes and physiotherapy service information from 1 pm to 2 pm
  • additional resources and activities throughout the day.

These sessions are designed to help men build healthier habits and learn more about local services that can support long‑term wellbeing

Day 2: Wednesday 17 June – Mental health and wellbeing

The second day shifts focus to mental and emotional health, recognising the importance of connection, early support, and reducing stigma. The poster outlines offerings such as:

  • mini health assessments from 10 am to 2 pm
  • counselling services information and referral pathways from noon to 2 pm
  • housing support from 10 am to noon
