Many of us have heard them before: “She’ll be right.” “Nah, I’m sweet.”

Sometimes the hardest conversation is the one we keep putting off.

This Movember, Bupa’s Sam Gargano is reminding us to check in with ourselves and the blokes around us. Looking after your mental health matters just as much as your physical health.

“I think a lot of blokes are pretty good at asking how everyone else is doing, but not always so good at checking in with themselves. I’m doing Movember to help start those conversations and remind people that it’s OK to talk about what’s going on.”

Today, on Remembrance Day, we were honoured to welcome Mark, CEO of Legacy Australia, to Bupa to share his story of service, remembrance and family.

Mark wore a hand-knitted poppy alongside his medals and brought with him a treasured book passed down through his family from his time in service. Each page carries a deeply personal story and a connection to those who served before him.

The poppy itself is particularly special. These poppies are knitted by widows and others with a personal or family connection to military service as a way of commemorating and honouring those who served.

Hearing Mark’s story was a reminder that remembrance is not only about reflecting on the past. It’s also about the people and families who continue to carry those stories forward, something that sits at the heart of Legacy Australia’s work.

As a health and care organisation with our own connection to Australia’s Defence and veteran community, it was a privilege to come together today to listen, reflect and remember.

Lest we forget.

The hair is leaving, but the good cause remains!

Our First Nations Team is putting their hair (and moustaches) on the line to support men’s health and help chase the $50,000 team goal, with Bupa matching each dollar raised.

Tom Buick, digital health operations manager, said: “It’s great to see our teams coming together for a cause that has such an important impact. A few less hairs is a small price to pay to help make a difference.”

Bupa has also partnered with Movember Australia to help more men stay engaged with mental health support, with clinicians across Bupa’s Mindplace mental health centres in Australia completing Movember’s evidence-based Men in Mind training programme.

Stay tuned for the before and after shots!

Research shows 45% of men disengage from therapy before completing treatment.
We want to help change that.

Bupa is partnering with men’s health charity Movember Australia, with clinicians across our Mindplace mental health centres undertaking Movember’s Men in Mind clinician training.

The program gives practitioners like Amu Chau practical, evidence-based strategies to better engage men, build stronger therapeutic relationships and help them stay connected to care.

Because asking for help is a big step. Making sure men feel supported to keep going matters too.

At 99, Margaret Hill is still caring for others, just as she has for much of her life.

Margaret spent around 30 years working as a nurse, with a particular passion for aged care. Along the way, she balanced her career with raising three children, family life and travelling overseas with her husband.

“I’ve always loved caring for people. It’s been a big part of my life, and I think it’s important to keep looking out for others and staying connected.”

Today, she brings that same caring nature to life in our Windsor aged care home, looking out for fellow residents, staying active, enjoying a good book, making connections with those around her and helping the nurses when she can.

Recently, Margaret also met her great-granddaughter, welcoming a new generation into the family and creating another special memory to treasure.
