Men’s Health Week 08 is putting the spotlight on
Australia’s rural men.

Australasian Men’s Health Forum President and
UWS Professor, John Macdonald, says “It’s about a
positive prescription for good health: catch up with
your mates share your stories about the week’s ups
and downs, talk with your family, and get involved in
your local community and sporting clubs. See your
local GP not just when you’re sick, but get a check-up
and maintain a good quality of life.”

Men’s Health Week 08 is coordinated by the
Australasian Men’s Health Forum. The week is fronted
by four passionate advocates for men’s health and
rural issues (shown in order to the left):

• Lee Kernaghan, award winning Australian
country music singer and songwriter, and 2008
Australian of the Year.

• Charles Wooley, Journalist and political
commentator, and Across Australia radio host.

• Angry Anderson, Australian rock singer, TV
presenter and actor.

• Dr Rob Walters, Former Australian General
Practice Network Chair, and health commentator.
