We're getting behind mental health this June!
The team at The Body Mechanic is taking on The Push-Up Challenge from 4–26 June, 2025, completing hundreds (if not thousands!) of push-ups to raise vital funds and awareness for mental health.
💪 You can support the cause by making a tax-deductible donation to our fundraising page — or better yet, join our team and push alongside us!
Every push-up counts. Every dollar makes a difference.
Let’s #PushForBetter mental health across Australia.
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.

I'm committed to supporting people struggling with mental health, including their families who carry a heavy load as well. I was happy to fundraise for Lifeline in association with UTA22 2025, so this is a boost to the contributions my friends and I have already made this year.
