About Mentoring Men
A connected, healthy society.
We are building a nationwide mentoring movement, transforming how men show up.
We’re here to walk beside men.
Mentoring Men is a growing national movement built on the belief that no man should have to struggle alone. We offer free, one-to-one life mentoring for men across Australia, delivered by trained male volunteer mentors.
Our approach is early and non-clinical. It gives men room to talk through what is happening in their lives before they reach breaking point.
A connected, healthy society
That is our vision: a society where support is not hidden or shameful, and men feel able to open up, back themselves and back each other. When men are connected, their partners, children, mates, workplaces and communities benefit too.
Bloke to bloke, built on trust
Our Model of Care is accredited and male-first. Mentoring is not therapy and not a quick fix. It is shoulder-to-shoulder conversation: strengths-based, stigma-free and at a person’s pace.
The team behind the relationship
Our team includes professionals and skilled volunteers: program leads, trainers, mentors, intake officers and supporters. They help prepare for and support the mentoring relationship.
Room for different lives
We want men to feel welcome and able to be themselves. We value differences in culture, sexual orientation, gender identity and lived experience. We acknowledge the expertise of people with living or lived experience of trauma and the contribution of those who choose to share it.
Our place and our community
Mentoring Men acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their continuing connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
