* when you have any smptoms or concerns
* you are 50 or older
* you have a family history - a father, brother or uncle

Remember: early detection is key. This means understanding your risk of prostate cancer.

* Ask - how he is feeling - "You haven't seemed yourself lately - are you feeling ok?
* Listen - give your full attention to hear what he's saying and you are not judging
* Encourage action - suggest to share his feelings with others he trusts and if more than 2 weeks suggest that he chat with his doctor
* Check in - suggest that you catch up soon in person if you can

A huge thanks to R U OK? for developing the ALEC model.

Globally men are dying too young - largely from preventable causes.

The key focus area for Movember Australia 2025 is to change the face of men's health.

The focus is on specific men's health issues:
• Mental health
• Su***de prevention
• Prostate cancer
• Testicular cancer

Here’s five ways men can give themselves the best chance at living a healthy and long life:
1. Your mates are important so catch up regularly and spend time with people who make you feel good
2. Talk more – you don’t have to have all the answers but being there for someone, listening and giving your time can be life-saving
3. At 50 talk to your doctor about prostate cancer – know your risks
4. Get to know what’s normal for your testicles, talk to your doctor if something doesn’t feel right
5. Get out and move, add more activity to your day, take a walk, walk up the stairs instead of the lift, cycle to work instead of driving

Do you have any concerns or want to know your risk factors? Talk to your doctor, ask for testing.
