EXPHYS Supporting One Foot Forward for Mental Health Research

This October, during Mental Health Month, the EXPHYS team are joining the Black Dog Institute to help create better mental health for all Australians. We are walking, running and moving towards our distance and fundraising goal.


This year we have four regional teams, within our EXPHYS team. This creates regional team connectedness and some healthy competition.


👟 EXPHYS QLD

👟 EXPHYS NSW

👟 EXPHYS VIC, TAS

👟 EXPHYS WA


We’ve set an EXPHYS distance goal of 1,390km and aim to beat last year’s fundraising amount to help reduce the impact of mental illness for all Australians.


EXPHYS also improves the mental health of Australia through our BETTER MOOD Program. This program focusses on restoring mental function under the expert guidance of a mental health exercise physiologist, trained in Mental Health First Aid. Unlock the natural medicine cabinet of the brain and harnesses the social benefits from exercise. Be supported through meaningful connection using an exercise buddy, community, and wearable technology.

Walking Together. Standing Together. Stronger Together.
