A Huge Success!
We’re thrilled to share the heartfelt success of Port Stephens Netball Association’s annual Mental Health & Wellbeing Round, held on Saturday, 16 August 2025. This special event united our community on and off the courts to spotlight mental wellness and foster meaningful connection.
What Made the Day So Special
A vibrant gathering featuring stallholders, engaging activities, flavourful BBQ, and fun games all dedicated to raising awareness and funds for mental health and wellbeing.
The theme “Together we can make change” echoed all around as families, players, and supporters joined forces.

To everyone who bought raffle tickets, supported on the day, or cheered us on — your energy and contributions made all the difference.

We Did It — Together!
Thanks to your amazing support, we exceeded our initial expectation — raising over $12,000 in total! These funds will be shared equally between Talk2MeBro and Jupiter Australia, communities making a real, positive impact in mental health and youth wellbeing locally.
What This Means
Talk2MeBro — breaking stigma and creating safe spaces for open conversations through workshops and community events.
Jupiter Australia – Space to Talk — offering free, confidential counselling for local youth (12–25 years), strengthening emotional resilience and early support access.
These funds will directly support their essential work within the Port Stephens community and beyond.
Looking Ahead
Thanks to your remarkable generosity and involvement, this event will have a lasting impact. We look forward to continuing our mission to support mental wellness, inclusive sport, and community spirit — on and off the netball court.
From all of us at Port Stephens Netball — we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for being part of this meaningful journey.
