About Our Challenge

In June, the Australian Antarctic Division is taking part in The Push-Up Challenge.  Across our head office locations and on our stations in Antarctica and on Macquarie Island we are going to help shine the spotlight on the number of lives lost to suicide in 2022 and raise awareness of mental health.  Help us push for better mental health.

Supporting Lifeline

Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their darkest moments alone.
We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.

Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge has played a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.
