About Our Challenge
Join Occy's crew!
Anyone that knows me knows that I have been a strong advocate for improving mental health. Both for myself personally and for anyone around me. Too many of us have experienced first hand the loss of someone to suicide and things need to change. This challenge aims to both raise awareness and also much needed funds that go directly to mental health aid here in Australia.
This June I'm completing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia and I'd love for you to join me!
You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.
Our crisis support services are available 24/7 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 plays 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.
Thank you for supporting Lifeline. Your fundraising is helping to save lives.

Practising as a psychologist, I see daily, the importance of mental health awareness. Thank you for keeping this front and centre, Max. On my own platform, ginibi psychology, I am offering bulk billed psychology sessions for the rest of 2025, for subscribers to Max and Occy. This means that there will be no out of pocket expenses for sessions (which would usually cost approximately an additional $140 on top of Medicare rebate). Contact connect@ginibipsychology.org and say you are a subscriber to Max and Occy. I am physically located in the Nimbin area of northern NSW, however, I also offer telehealth or phone psychology appointments for anywhere in Australia.
