Men's Health Week Business Breakfast

Men's Health Week runs from 14 - 20 June.

Why Men's Health?

All this emphasis on the health of boys and men - what's that about? They're alright, aren't they?

In many cases, the answer is no.

A boy born in Australia in 2010 has a life expectancy of 78.0 years while a baby girl born at the same time could expect to live to 82.3 years old. Right from the start, boys suffer more illness, more accidents and die earlier than their female counterparts. Men take their own lives at four times the rate of women (that's five men a day, on average). Accidents, cancer and heart disease all account for the majority of male deaths.**

Join us and our panel of experts for breakfast:
