Welcome to Mates in Mind

Thank you for being part of this exciting community initiative.

Why Mates in Mind Matters

Mates in Mind has been created to help local sporting Clubs build stronger connections, encourage meaningful conversations and environments where people feel supported both on and off the field.

Sporting Clubs play such an important role within our communities. They bring people together, create belonging, build resilience and often become places where lifelong friendships, support networks and strong community connections are formed.

Supporting Mental Wellbeing in Everyday Club Life

Mates in Mind aims to build on these strengths by providing simple, practical and approachable ways to support mental health wellbeing and connection within everyday Club life.

Participating Clubs will receive:

Practical wellbeing resources

Simple conversation tools

Monthly wellbeing themes

Awareness and visibility materials

Referral pathway information

Ongoing support and check-ins

Designed for Everyday Club Life

Importantly, the Mates in Mind program is designed to feel practical, supportive and easy to integrate into everyday Club life.

We are excited to work alongside your Club as part of the growing Mates in Mind community.

Together, we can help create Club environments where people feel connected, supported and encouraged to reach out when needed.
