SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY

For the fourth year in a row, we're proud to once again support SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY and their annual Shorts Day.

Brave the cold. Brave the conversation.

Talking about mental health can sometimes be uncomfortable... and so is wearing shorts in the middle of winter in Tasmania. Let's do both.

On Friday 19 June 2026, thousands of people across Tasmania and beyond will come together in their brightest pair of shorts to brave the cold and brave the conversation for SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY’s annual Shorts Day.

Wear shorts, raise awareness or funds, host an activity, have a chat...however you take part, your efforts will help spark mental health conversations. The more people talking, the bigger the impact in our community.

Brave it for mental health

Help SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY with the important work they do across Tasmania.
