The Mental Awareness Foundation is a local charity where their mission is to spread the message of suicide prevention, and raise awareness of depression and mental health issues by empowering organisations and individuals. Their programs, events and fundraising supports individuals and organisations on the front line of mental health support services.
Each year, Banyo Clinic participates in the Walk For Awareness event. The walk is 9km long to honor the 9 Australians who die by suicide every day. We scale our walk to include shorter distances around Banyo and the surrounding suburbs to increase accessibility and inclusivity.
This year, we want to give a massive shoutout to all the staff, doctors and patients who rallied togetherto take part in the walk. Together, Team Banyo Clinic raised over $1,200 for the Mental Awareness Foundation.
Mark the first or second Sunday of October in 2026 down in your diary for a day of connection, sun and sausage sizzle!
