Grow a mullet.
Start a convo.
Make it count.
The funds you raise can help change a life.
This April, whether you’re growing, shaping, colouring or styling your mullet, you’re helping put mental health front and centre.
A mullet turns heads, but its real power is the conversations it starts. Conversations that build understanding, compassion and support for Australians living with mental illness.
Mullets for Mental Health brings mates, families, workplaces and communities together to raise funds for world-leading mental health research at Black Dog Institute, helping deliver education and digital support tools to the people who need them most.
Stand out from the crowd. Grow a mullet for mental health.
Here's what your mullet can help make possible
Youth Mental Health
Teaching children with anxiety or depressive symptoms how to create healthier ways of thinking.
Advocacy
Sharing world-leading research and real-world stories with policymakers to shape decisions that affect millions, and build a future where all Australians can access timely, affordable care.
Education & Services
Equip teachers with practical tools and professional support to provide safety and guidance to teenagers in the years when they are most vulnerable to forming mental health conditions.
Suicide Prevention
Translate research into a digital program which can support people with suicidal thoughts to seek help when they need it most.

Your mullet tells an important story. Here's Nic's.
Nic learnt from a young age of how allowing emotions to flow freely is a pretty important part of managing mental health. He also knows that it doesn't come as easy for other people.
That truth hit hardest when he lost his close mate Tamar to suicide.
“Although it nearly broke me, it’s also the key moment where something clicked. I knew I needed to do something to support people with their mental health and to continue Tamar’s story and legacy” - Nic
Every mate lost leaves a gap you can feel - on the field, at work, in your group chat.
We can’t undo that pain. But growing a mullet and backing world-leading research helps more people get support earlier – and keeps more of our mates here.
For Nic, that’s what this mullet means: purpose, connection, and carrying on his mate’s story through action.
