During Men's Health Week, we acknowledge the importance of health for men who have served or are currently serving and the impact this has on families.

According to the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing:

• Only 27% of men maintain recommended physical activity levels.
• Men have a shorter life expectancy than women and die more often from preventable causes.
• Deaths from injury are 2.6 times more common in men than in women. More than 9 in 10 people killed at work are men.

Research shows that two-thirds of men who are struggling do not feel confident enough to ask for help. Regular health checks and maintaining an active lifestyle remain essential steps in supporting long-term physical and mental wellbeing.

We encourage all members of our community to prioritise their health, schedule routine check-ups, and reach out when support is needed.

RSL WA offers dedicated programs and services to support the health of veterans and their families, such as RSL Active which promotes social connection and wellbeing through activity.

Looking after one's health, and that staying connected with mates and healthcare professionals strengthens our community. So guys, book that appointment and take care of yourself.

For more information about RSL Active and other support services available through RSL WA, visit: www.rslwa.org.au
