Speaking & Keynotes

Zac brings world-class research to life on stage — making complex ideas about men’s mental health accessible, urgent, and actionable. He has spoken to corporate teams, government departments, clinical conferences, and community audiences across Australia and internationally.

A Roadmap for Engaging Men in Mental Health Care

An extraordinarily high percentage of men leave therapy prematurely, citing a failure to connect with their counsellor. Zac unpacks the myths about men and counselling and provides a practical playbook for clinicians, organisations, and workplaces to better connect with — and motivate — men to seek and stay in care.

Fatherhood & Mental Wellness

The role of father comes with profound expectations, evolving responsibilities, and real psychological weight. Drawing on current research, Zac explores the unique mental health challenges faced by fathers and shares evidence-based strategies for promoting wellbeing in the context of fatherhood.

Masculinity and the Media

How do the stories we tell about men shape what they believe is possible for themselves? Zac examines how media representations of masculinity influence societal norms, relationships, and mental health outcomes — and offers a framework for a healthier, more inclusive vision of what it means to be a man.

Positive Male Role Models

What does a positive male role model look like in 2026? Zac explores the qualities that foster resilience, emotional intelligence, and meaningful leadership in men and boys — and provides practical insights on identifying, cultivating, and learning from strong role models.
