Men's Health Week- Wayne Schwass

Men’s Health Week at Monash will start on Monday 15 June and to raise awareness of men’s health week we have partnered up with Medibank to have Wayne Schwass deliver a presentation for Monash.


Wayne Schwass is currently the CEO and Founder of PukaUp a social enterprise focusing on mental health, emotional well-being and importantly, suicide prevention. Wayne is also a former AFL player and battled silently with his own mental health for much of his sporting career. He is now a dedicated mental health advocate, committed to raising awareness about mental health, emotional wellbeing and suicide prevention.

Normalising mental health and emotional wellbeing has never been more important. These conversations can and do positively change lives and in some situations these conversations have saved lives. He will be speaking about why we need to address mental health and psychological safety in the workplace.
