Why We Support Lift the Lid
As a first aid and mental health first aid training organisation ‘physical health for mental health’ resonates deeply with us. Supporting initiatives like the Lift the Lid Walk is part of our commitment to helping Australians talk openly, support one another, and break the stigma around mental illness. With 100% of the funds raised going directly into life-changing mental health research via Australian Rotary Health, we are keen to help make a lasting difference for families, workplaces, and communities nationwide.
The walk is also an outlet for those affected by mental health challenges—a chance to honour loved ones, find support, and build connections. Families, teams, and individuals often wear special t-shirts to remember those lost to mental health issues and celebrate resilience together.
How to Get Involved
Whether walking or cheering along those who are, we encourage everyone to register and support the cause.
Let’s walk, talk and lift the lid on mental illness—because together, we can make a difference.
