Here For Good Foundation

The Here for Good Foundation celebrates Victoria's appointment for Minister of Men, with NSW also appointing a shadow parliamentary secretary for men's health. We support this as a step forward to a generational change towards healing in society.

The Health Minister for SA is monitoring the progress of this appointment.

SA's health minister says the state government will “look closely” at introducing a Minister for Men - the Premier showing "a keen interest".

Through his usual everyman approach, "Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere" aims to shed light on online communities that seem fringe to some people, but all-encompassing to many others.

Although the documentary has received criticism for under-representing the direct impact of the misogyny in these communities on women and girls, Louis focuses on the draw and hold of the manosphere on their target consumers - how often, a journey for self-improvement can end up leading these young men to limit their worldview to their grievances.

Now airing on Netflix:

Louis Theroux is back and beta than ever... Join Louis as he dives into the world of the 'manosphere'. From Miami to Marbella, meet the men that are reshapin...

We welcome the Government of South Australia's response to the Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence.

The State Government of South Australia has pledged $674 million dollars over 10 years to address domestic, family and sexual violence in our communities.

The Royal Commission report, released in August, contains 136 recommendations for State Government to implement for lasting, systemic change.

You can read the official media report here:

The report highlighted how complex the nature of domestic, family and sexual violence is, with structural, cultural, social, psychological and economic factors all contributing and the need for everyone to be involved in addressing it.
