Australia is considered a global leader in men’s health. This is largely due research, policy and practice developments that have progressed significantly over the past 25 years. In this presentation I will map key sectoral developments, practice innovation, research advancements, and policy change that has enabled the men’s health agenda to move forward in Australia over this period. I will adopt an explicit strengths-based focus, that differs markedly to earlier deficit-focused discussions, to highlight how the collective efforts of many men’s health and masculinities advocates, practitioners, and scholars have contributed to this trajectory. Through a reflexive lens, I will refer to past National Men’s Health Conferences/Gatherings; the development and implementation of state-based men’s health strategies, the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Male Health Framework, and National Men’s Health Policy/Strategy (2010/2020); insights from Ten to Men (the Australian Longitudinal Study on Men’s Health); and the emergence of dedicated men’s health organisations, charities and peak bodies, to explain how and why momentum in men’s health has been maintained despite relatively minimal government investments. I will also describe how an explicit focus on men’s health equity and priority populations, intersectionality, and healthy masculinities have helped shape contemporary understandings of best-practice in men’s health in Australia. I will use emerging evidence to conclude my presentation by providing insights and recommendations about how to sustain a progressive men’s health and masculinities discourse both in Australia, and internationally, over the coming years.
