Pushing for Better Mental Health: El Pinoy Care Joins The Push-Up Challenge 2025

3,214 lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2023—a reminder of why mental health awareness is so important. From June 4 to 26, thousands of Australians will come together for The Push-Up Challenge 2025, striving to complete 3,214 push-ups over 23 days.

The Push-Up Challenge is more than just a fitness initiative. It’s a national movement dedicated to shining a light on mental health through daily physical activity and education. Participants can take on the challenge solo or as part of a team, with each day featuring a push-up target and a mental health fact to reflect on. It’s a flexible, inclusive campaign that encourages people of all fitness levels to get involved, while promoting conversations that matter.

This year, the team at El Pinoy Care Services is proud to take part. As a community-focused provider of NDIS and aged care services, we see the importance of mental health every day—among staff, participants, and the broader community. Getting behind The Push-Up Challenge is one more way that we can support a healthier, more connected society.

“Mental health shouldn't be a silent struggle,”
– Don, Marketing Manager
“It's an opportunity for us to have a bit of fun while supporting our staff, clients, and the broader community through a bit of exercise and teamwork – plus a bit of exercise never hurt nobody” (sic)

Want to get involved? You can register to take part in the challenge yourself, or help support our team's effort by making a donation. Whether you're doing push-ups on your toes, knees, or even leaning against a wall, every rep—and every dollar—makes a difference in raising awareness and funds for critical mental health services across the country.
