The Push-Up Challenge

The Push-Up Challenge is one of the world's largest mental health and fitness initiative, proudly run by The Push For Better Foundation, a health promotion charity registered with the ACNC. The Push-Up Challenge runs in Australia each June and across the globe in February. Each day, participants learn about mental health as they are challenged to complete a different number of push-ups that relates to a mental health statistic. Participants can aim for half of the push-up target and other exercise alternatives are welcome. The Push-Up Challenge is a unique way to engage your organisation in mental health by: • Learning about mental health: A different mental health statistic is shared each day; • Connection: Encourages team participation using our push-up tracker (phone app); • Promoting fitness: Push-ups can be done anywhere and anytime; • Make a difference: Opportunity to raise funds for mental health The event was founded by Perth engineer Nick Hudson, and in just five years has grown from 4 mates to people across the world, pushing for better mental health. Participants came from from all walks of life, ranging from school children to a 91-year-old great grandmother. We look forward to having your organisation involved. For further information visit
