At Beach Energy, we don’t just take on challenges — we build momentum year after year.

What started as a small team effort has grown into a company-wide movement — connecting people across divisions, raising awareness, and driving real impact for mental health.

And this year… Creating the Wave 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️🏄.

The Push-Up Challenge is Australia’s largest mental health and fitness event, challenging people to complete 3,307 push-ups over 24 days in June. The number honours the 3,307 lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2024, and each day’s target is linked to a mental health fact to help build awareness and understanding.

It promotes better mental health through connection, physical activity and education — encouraging conversations, reducing stigma, and reminding people that support is available. It’s designed to be inclusive too, with participants able to aim for the full or half target, or swap push-ups for alternative exercises.

Over the past few years, Beach has shown what’s possible when we come together:

• Teams completed 14,909 and 23,580 push-ups respectively

• Raised over $6,800 across charities including Lifeline and Movember

• Teams across Adelaide and Otway delivered tens of thousands of push-ups, including 23,580 push-ups at Otway Gas Plant alone

• Surpassed fundraising goals, reaching $3,864 against a $2,000 target

• ~250,000 push-ups completed across Beach

• Nearly $35,000 raised

• Ranked 2nd highest fundraiser in the nation in our category

• Strong participation across all divisions, plus leadership involvement including our CEO

This is more than a challenge — it’s a Beach tradition built on passion, resilience, and community.

From 3–26 June, we’re stepping up again:

This number reflects the lives impacted by mental health challenges across Australia — and every rep is a reminder of why we show up.

Every push-up helps spark:

• 💬 Conversations

• 🤝 Connection

• 💙 Support

Because this is where Beach is at its best:

• 💙 Championing mental health awareness

• 👥 Bringing teams together across offices and assets

• 🔥 Creating energy, camaraderie and friendly competition

• 🌱 Making a real, measurable impact beyond the workplace

And you don’t need to be a fitness expert — every effort counts:

• Push-ups (full or modified)

• Alternative exercises

• Turning up to support your team

Not keen to join the challenge? You can still get behind the team by making a donation. All funds raised support Lifeline Adelaide SA, helping save lives through crisis support, suicide prevention, and mental health and emotional wellbeing services. Somewhere in Australia, there is a new call to Lifeline every 30 seconds, and every year Lifeline Adelaide answers more than 36,000 calls from people experiencing crisis.

This challenge also aligns with beWell and our broader focus on supporting mental health and wellbeing at Beach. Taking part is one way to raise awareness, start conversations and look out for each other and it’s also a reminder that support is available to our people through the wellbeing resources and services available to staff.

This year isn’t about starting from scratch — it’s about building on what we’ve already achieved:

• More participants than ever

• Stronger engagement across divisions

• Bigger fundraising impact

• Even more energy across the business

Let’s take what we built in 2025 — and push it even further.

Last year, we proved what we can do.

This year, we raise the bar again.

Whether you do 10 push-ups or 300, your contribution matters.

So grab a teammate, bring the energy, and be part of something that makes a real difference — whether that’s doing the push-ups or showing your support with a donation.

Special shoutout to everyone who has driven this initiative in past years — the passion, leadership, and energy is what makes this challenge such a success across Beach
