Join our community to create better mental health for all Australians.
Paul Rudd takes part in One Foot Forward every year:
"I went through a bad patch with my mental health when I hurt my back and I needed a lot of time off to recover. I had limited mobility, so I started to lose contact with the outside world. Then I lost interest in doing anything at all. My mind just clouded all positive thoughts.
It took me two years to rebuild myself. So when I heard about One Foot Forward I decided to take part. I wanted to connect with other people who had been through something similar.
“The community is a big, supportive family.”
To anyone thinking about taking part in One Foot Forward, I say ‘Do it!’. You get to enjoy the fresh air and get your blood moving. It’s also a fun community thing. Above all, it helps raise funds and awareness that help is out there if you need support for your mental health.”

Life is extremely complex. Life is also very precious. If you are struggling with ANYTHING at all - know that you are not alone. There is someone around you that wants to see you smile again - please reach out to them or contact one of the many support services available. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW x

As someone who has lived with anxiety and depression throughout my life, I am so proud to be taking part in this cause. No one is ever truly alone, no matter how far away help and support might feel. I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone.

In both my working and personal life I have seen people reach their limits and feel so hopeless that they can no longer go on. This walk is for all those people, those feeling alone, helpless, unloved, lonely and desperate looking for a way out. I see you, I am here for you, you are not alone, you are not a burden and when you are ready to reach out I am here for you xx
