Walk for youth mental health this April

Walk your way. Raise funds. Help young people get the mental health support they need.

MAKE THE FIRST STEP AND CHANGE LIVES

Hike4Life invites you to join people all over Australia and step together for young people who need our support. Whether you are walking to the local shops, taking the dog around your favourite park, or going bush, every step you take can help raise money to fund vital programs for youth mental health, supporting young people where they live, learn, and grow. Along the way, you’ll challenge yourself, connect with others, and spend time in places that remind you why this matters.

HOW IT WORKS

Register

Sign up for yourself, or start a team. Choose a walking or hiking goal this April — whatever suits you! A local trail, weekend hike, or your daily stroll. Walk wherever and however you want!

Spread the love

Share your fundraising page with friends, family, and colleagues. Every conversation helps break down stigma and starts meaningful discussions around mental health.

Raise money

Ask your community to support your challenge. Every dollar raised helps fund early intervention and mental health education for young people.

WHO’S STEPPING UP THIS APRIL?

“Mental health needs more than awareness. It needs action, and this feels like a good place to start.”

Jo

“I don’t hike as such, but I love getting outdoors every day and taking on a challenge. How cool to do that, knowing the money we raise will fund programs that actually make a difference.”

Stephen

“I walk heaps every week and get together with friends on the trails all the time.. A day of hiking that helps support young people is an easy yes for me.”

Put your best foot forward and change a young person’s life

Young people growing up in regional communities face higher rates of mental health challenges and fewer support services. Without early help, small problems can quickly become overwhelming. Sadly, mental ill-health in young people has increased by more than 50% in the last 15 years. 

You can help just by walking! Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a daily dog walker, every kilometre you cover this April can make a real difference.

Funds raised through Hike4Life support Live4Life’s award-winning programs. You can help give young people the skills, confidence, and support they need to look after their mental health — and each other.

So grab your walking shoes and step out with us. Let’s ensure young people aren’t facing mental health challenges alone.
