The Lawns of Parliament House, Canberra
Thursday, 19 November 2026

Too many boys and men are fighting battles in silence. Too many are taught to hide their pain, stay strong and carry their struggles alone.

For many families, this is deeply personal.

Our sons deserve the opportunity to grow into men. Our men deserve the opportunity to grow old. And no boy or man should ever feel that asking for help is a sign of weakness.

Behind every pair of shoes is a life, a family, a story and a future that matters.

On 19 November, the 2500 Too Many campaign will bring this message to the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra, remembering the males we have lost while standing with those who are still struggling.

BE THERE
Join the gathering on the lawns of Parliament House, Canberra, on 19 November 2026.

SPREAD THE WORD
Share the campaign and help bring greater attention to men’s and boys’ mental health.

START THE CONVERSATION
Check in on the boys and men in your life. Ask how they’re really doing, listen without judgement, and remind them that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

DEMAND BETTER SUPPORT
Support efforts for earlier intervention, accessible mental-health services and better support for Australian boys and men.

Every life matters. Every family matters. Every story matters.

Young Australia Project stands with those working to ensure that boys and men are seen, heard and supported before they reach crisis point.

Australia’s future depends on the ideas we defend, the leaders we choose and the principles we are willing to uphold.

Across our nation, questions of sovereignty, individual liberty, national identity and economic opportunity continue to shape the political landscape. These are not questions that should be left exclusively to politicians. They deserve the attention of every Australian who cares about the direction of our country.

The CPAC Australia National Conference brings together conservative leaders, public figures and supporters to discuss the ideas, policies and principles shaping Australia's future.

For young Australians in particular, understanding these debates is an important part of becoming informed citizens. Our generation will inherit the decisions made today — and will eventually bear the responsibility of making decisions of our own.
