We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs.

About the project

Following an evaluation of the Info Line in February 2012, the service was renamed the beyondblue Support Service and expanded to provide additional services such as: 

  • Immediate, short-term, solutions focused counselling
  • An online chat facility 
  • The ability for callers to request to speak with a counsellor of the same gender
The beyondblue Support Service was launched 31 January 2013. It provides an inexpensive, non-threating and supportive means for Australians to access information, referral and support from trained mental health professionals, through telephone and online means.

The beyondblue Support Service facilitates contact between people experiencing depression and/or anxiety (or their families and carers) and a mental health professional to provide the Australian population with access to high quality information, as well as providing support and assistance to identify appropriate services for further help seeking.
The service is advertised through beyondblue’s website, information resources and various projects and campaigns across all program areas. 
The beyondblue Support Service has been co-funded by the Movember Foundation since 2006. Since 2013, the beyondblue Support Service has been under a newly negotiated 3 year funding agreement between the Movember Foundation and beyondblue. The Report Card detailing the current agreement is available here
