What a powerful day at the Collaborate Moreton Bay Mental Wellness Lunch! We had such a good time checking in with mates (and making new ones) that we forgot to snap a photo of our exhibitor set-up... oops!

What truly matters is the overwhelming response: so many people were keen to get involved and ask how they could support The Great Mate Check-In movement. That's the energy that fuels us!

The highlight was hearing the legendary Shane Webcke speak. He shared his darkest moments with such honesty and zero shame, he completely validated our mission. As he said: “The most important thing is to regularly check-in with your mates!” (Courtney and I nearly squealed when he said it!)

We also loved hearing from the panel of experts, hosted beautifully by Donna Thistlewaithe, who reinforced the importance of building connection—no matter how difficult the conversation might be.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by!

The momentum is building! We hope to see you all again very soon in just three weeks for The Great Mate Check-In 2025 on Friday, November 7th!

We are incredibly proud to welcome Shannon Moss and the team from Sandgate & Districts Towing as our newest Silver Sponsor!

Working in an industry with long hours and high pressure, Shannon sees first-hand how often men feel they need to "tough it out" in silence. His support for The Great Mate Check-In is about breaking down that barrier.

In Shannon’s words:

"Getting involved means helping remind our mates that checking in isn’t weakness, it’s strength. If even one conversation sparked through this campaign helps someone feel less alone... then we’ve made a real difference."

Thank you to Shannon and the boys from Sandgate & Districts Towing for standing with us. Be sure to show your support for the businesses that support our community's mental health!

Today is World Mental Health Day. What's Your Action Plan?

Today, we join the world in raising the flag for mental health awareness. But for us at The Great Mate Check-In, awareness is only the beginning.

Mental health isn't a single-day event—it's a commitment. Our motivation comes from turning the awareness of days like today into a genuine, consistent culture of checking in with our mates regularly throughout the year.

The best way to commit to this movement is to show up and be part of the change.

Join us on Friday, November 7th, to learn how to keep the conversation going and strengthen your commitment to your mates. We are now less than a month away, and seats are filling up fast!

Secure your tickets now and turn awareness into action.
