Events

Hat Day is Australian Rotary Health’s longest-running mental health research fundraising event, held on the 10th of October every World Mental Health Day. It’s a day to wear an exciting hat and spread awareness of the 1 in 5 Australians suffering a mental health disorder every year.

It began as a fun and easy way for Rotary Clubs around Australia to get together to raise money for mental health research through Australian Rotary Health. Hat Day events are not just about wearing an exciting hat. Rotary Clubs have hosted Hat Day themed raffle nights, murder mystery role playing dinners and even fashion show extravaganzas!

100% of Hat Day proceeds go into mental health research. Starting from 2023, Australian Rotary Health will be narrowing its research to the mental health of 0-12 year olds. You can see more information on their website.
