On 7 May 2026, healthcare leaders, business professionals, philanthropists, and community supporters came together at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground for the annual Epworth Men’s Health Lunch.
The event was held in the Members’ Dining Room at the MCG. Nearly 500 guests attended. Together, they raised vital funds to support patient care, medical research, healthcare innovation, and education across the Epworth network.
Most importantly, the event placed a critical healthcare issue in the spotlight: men’s health.
Raising Awareness of Men’s Health
Men’s health remains an important healthcare priority. Early detection, education, and regular health checks can improve long-term outcomes and save lives.
This year’s event focused on prostate health. As a result, attendees gained valuable insights into prevention, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Leading healthcare experts shared practical information and encouraged open conversations about men’s health. Furthermore, speakers highlighted the importance of recognising symptoms early and seeking medical advice when needed.
By increasing awareness, events such as the Epworth Men’s Health Lunch help reduce barriers to early intervention and treatment.
Importantly, the event also reinforced the message that better health outcomes begin with education, awareness, and action.
Supporting Better Healthcare Through Philanthropy
The Epworth Medical Foundation plays a vital role in supporting healthcare excellence.
Funds raised through the Men’s Health Lunch help support:
- Medical research programs
- Advanced healthcare technology
- Professional education and training
- Patient care initiatives
- Healthcare innovation projects
In addition, these investments help healthcare professionals access the latest tools, equipment, and resources.
As a result, patients benefit from improved treatment options and enhanced healthcare experiences.
The generosity shown by attendees, sponsors, and donors continues to strengthen healthcare services across Victoria and beyond.
In 2026, the event delivered significant fundraising outcomes that will continue to support innovation, research, and clinical excellence for years to come.

By bringing together healthcare professionals, industry partners, supporters, and community leaders, the event highlighted the importance of working together to improve patient outcomes.

More Than a Fundraising Event
The Epworth Men’s Health Lunch is far more than an annual fundraising event.
Instead, it creates opportunities to raise awareness, encourage education, and promote meaningful conversations about men’s health.
Moreover, it demonstrates the positive impact that philanthropy can have on patient care, medical research, and healthcare innovation.
The event also highlights the value of strong partnerships between donors, healthcare organisations, clinicians, and industry supporters.
Ultimately, the generosity displayed by guests, sponsors, and supporters reflects a shared commitment to improving healthcare for current and future generations.
