Thank You for Moving With Us

October has come to a close, and with it Aurora Healthcare's Move For More campaign for Mental Health Month. 

Looking back on the past four weeks, we're proud of what our South Eastern Private Hospital team and the wider Aurora community achieved together, and grateful to everyone who laced up, donated and shared the message that it's OK to ask for help.

A month of moving for more

Throughout October, staff, families, friends and community members across the Aurora Healthcare network got moving to raise awareness and funds for Suicide Prevention Australia. Some walked with colleagues on their lunch breaks, others joined local community walks, and many simply took a few extra steps each day with a purpose in mind.

More than 700 people took part nationwide [update with final participant number and total raised]. Every kilometre walked was a reminder that mental health is something we all share responsibility for, and that small actions can open up big conversations.

Proud of our South Eastern team

We're incredibly proud of our team here at South Eastern for the energy and heart they brought to Move For More.

Our staff support people through their mental health journeys every day. Seeing them step out together, in their teal Aurora shirts, to champion suicide prevention in our community was a powerful reflection of the care they bring to their work. Thank you to everyone who took part, encouraged others and helped make the month a success.

A new partnership with Suicide Prevention Australia

We're also proud to share that Aurora Healthcare is now partnering with Suicide Prevention Australia, the national peak body for the suicide prevention sector.

Move For More was the first step. This partnership builds on that momentum and reflects our ongoing commitment to reducing stigma, supporting people to reach out early, and working alongside the sector to help save lives. We look forward to sharing more about what this partnership will mean for our hospitals, our people and the communities we serve.

Mental health matters every month

Mental Health Month may be over, but the conversation doesn't stop here. At South Eastern Private Hospital, our team continues to provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care, helping people find the right support at the right time.

If Move For More got you thinking about your own wellbeing or someone close to you, we encourage you to keep that conversation going. Checking in with a friend, talking to your GP or reaching out for professional support can make a real difference.
