Move For More: Proudly Supporting Suicide Prevention Australia

This Mental Health Month marks the beginning of a new Aurora Healthcare tradition.

We're proud to launch the inaugural Move For More, a national fundraising and community initiative designed to bring together our people, hospitals and communities each year in support of better mental health and suicide prevention.

This October, staff, friends, families, supporters and community members across Australia will come together to raise awareness, create connection and support Suicide Prevention Australia, helping turn conversations into action and making a meaningful difference in communities nationwide.

For more than 50 years, Aurora Healthcare has proudly cared for Australians experiencing mental health challenges when they need support most. Through Move For More, we're extending that commitment beyond our hospitals and into the communities we serve.

We know connection matters. Conversation matters. Support matters.

As one of Australia's leading dedicated mental health providers, we believe it's important to do more than talk about mental health. We believe in showing up, supporting our communities and creating opportunities for meaningful connection and conversation. Move For More is our chance to walk our talk.

While this is our first Move For More campaign, we hope it becomes an annual Mental Health Month tradition that continues to grow year after year, bringing people together around a shared commitment to mental health awareness, suicide prevention and community connection.

Whether you're joining a walk, making a donation, becoming a sponsor or helping spread the word, every action helps support an important cause.

Supporting Suicide Prevention Australia

Aurora Healthcare is proud to launch Move For More in support of Suicide Prevention Australia, the national peak body for suicide prevention in Australia.

We hope Move For More marks the beginning of a long-term partnership focused on raising awareness, supporting suicide prevention initiatives and creating lasting impact in communities across Australia.

Suicide Prevention Australia works to build a future where suicide is prevented and every life is valued. Through advocacy, collaboration, research, policy development and community action, the organisation plays an important role in driving national efforts to reduce the impact of suicide and improve mental health outcomes across the country.

As one of Australia's leading dedicated mental health providers, Aurora Healthcare recognises the importance of working alongside organisations that share our commitment to prevention, early intervention, connection and support.

Through Move For More, we're not only raising funds, we're helping to raise awareness, start important conversations and encourage communities to come together in support of better mental health.

Every donation made through Move For More helps support this important work and contributes to a shared vision of a future where more people feel connected, supported and empowered to seek help when they need it.

Why It Matters

Suicide continues to impact individuals, families, workplaces and communities across Australia.

Behind every statistic is a person. A loved one. A friend. A colleague.

That's why prevention matters.

Checking in. Starting a conversation. Asking twice. Listening without judgement. Reaching out for support.

Small actions can create meaningful connection when someone needs it most.

Through Move For More, we're encouraging communities to come together, support one another and remind people that they are not alone.
