2024 marks 21 years of Movember, and what better way to celebrate a 21st than with a free beard trim to encourage stellar mo-growth and ample opportunities to connect with the community by catching up with a mate, joining a wellbeing session for a midday reset, having a dance and committing to the cause by signing up for Movember 2024!
This October, Movember is hitting the road for its East Coast tour, rolling into Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne delivering an exciting blend of wellbeing and awareness to the forefront of men’s health.
The activation across the states will see a custom Movember 8-metre silver bullet airstream double as a barber shop on wheels, popping up across the major cities and stopping by regional townships along the way.
For one day only, keen punters will have the opportunity to hit the barber shop to freshen up their mo or inspire growth, catch up and check in with a mate, join a midday wellbeing session powered by lululemon [don’t forget to wear your activewear] or roll in after 5 pm for a feed from the food trucks, grab a drink and have a little boog to tunes; all while engaging in conversations that matter when they sign up to partake in fundraising this Movember.
The initiative is part of Movember’s broader eSorts to change the face of men’s health through grassroots campaigns that continue to build and bring communities together.

About Movember:
Twenty-one years ago, a bristly idea was born in Melbourne Australia, igniting a movement that would transcend borders and change the face of men’s health forever. The movement, known as Movember, united people from all walks of life – sparking billions of important conversations, raising vital funds, and shattering the silence surrounding men’s health issues.
Since 2003, this trailblazing charity has challenged the status quo, shaken up men’s health research, and transformed the way that health services reach and support men. Thanks to their global network of supporters, they have raised over AUD 1.5 billion for men’s health. These critical funds have powered more than 1,300 men’s health projects worldwide, from pioneering biomedical research to developing some of the largest prostate cancer registries globally. Since taking on mental health and suicide prevention in 2006, Movember has advocated for the early recognition of mental health issues and improved clinician responses to men in distress. By fostering better social connections and educating men and their supporters, Movember hopes to ensure that more men know how to act when mental health challenges arise.
Movember is committed to advancing new research, cutting-edge treatments, and healthy behaviours, and advocating for inclusive, gender-responsive healthcare that caters to the unique needs of men, women, and gender-diverse individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. In doing so, they hope to forge a future where barriers to healthy living are overcome, stigmas are removed, and where everyone has an equal opportunity to live a long, healthy life. By improving men’s health, we can have a profoundly positive impact on women, families, and society.
