INTERNATIONAL MEN'S DAY BOOTS OF REMEMBRANCE
Check on Your Mates | Parliamentary Gardens, Hobart
📅 Thursday 19 November 2026
🕘 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
📍 Parliamentary Gardens, Parliament House, Hobart, Tasmania
🎟️ FREE — Everyone welcome!
IT'S OFFICIALLY APPROVED — WE'RE GOING TO PARLIAMENT! 🩵
This International Men's Day, Check on Your Mates invites the Tasmanian community to come together on the lawns of Parliament House for a special boots display honouring the lives of men we've lost and encouraging honest conversations about mental health, grief and suicide prevention.
Every pair of boots represents a life, a story and somebody who is deeply missed.
Kirilee Murray will be leading the display and placing the first pair of boots, helping us begin a day of remembrance, connection and community.
We warmly invite families, friends and anyone wishing to remember a loved one to bring along a pair of boots or shoes, with a photograph of their loved one if they wish, and place them respectfully in the display.
I'll be there throughout the day representing Check on Your Mates, having a yarn, meeting people and handing out stickers and other bits and pieces while supplies last.
There are no speeches you have to make, no donations required and absolutely no pressure to share your story.
Come for five minutes or stay for a while.
Bring your boots. Bring a photo. Bring a mate.
Or simply come along, stand beside us and remember.
This event is especially close to my heart because Check on Your Mates began in memory of my brother Austin. My hope is that we can create a space where people feel comfortable remembering those they've lost, supporting one another and talking openly about mental health.
Nobody should have to carry their grief alone.
🩵 No admission fee.
🩵 No fundraising for Check on Your Mates.
🩵 Everyone is welcome.
🩵 All boots and photographs will be respectfully collected at the end of the event.
Thursday 19 November. 9 AM – 5 PM. Parliamentary Gardens, Hobart.
Let's fill the lawns with remembrance, compassion and mateship.
CHECK ON YOUR MATES IT AIN'T WEAK TO SPEAK.
TOGETHER WE GOT POWER! 🩵
