About My Challenge

I'm joining many colleagues from the UNSW Engineering Deans Unit - some I know well, some I'm yet to meet - to complete at least 1,654 push-ups in 24 days for Push for Better.

Mental health matters to me personally, and it matters to a lot of people around us, often quietly. This is a small, slightly ridiculous way to do something about it.

Every dollar goes toward mental health services and initiatives in Australia - and yes, it's tax-deductible, so your generosity costs you even less.

If you can spare something, I'd be grateful. #pushforbetter

Supporting Lifeline

Lifeline is a national charity providing Australians who are experiencing emotional distress access to 24-hour crisis support, suicide prevention, mental health, and domestic and family violence prevention services.

Lifeline exists to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their toughest moments alone.

Our experience has shown us that it is through connection that we can find hope. That’s why we are available 24 hours a day to listen without judgement to anyone in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, distressed, or experiencing a crisis. Each year, Lifeline receives over 1.3 million contacts to our crisis support services.

By supporting Lifeline, you are ensuring the Lifeline network has the critical technology, resources and people necessary to deliver crisis support, self-led support, and counselling services around the clock.
