About the event:

If you’ve watched any of the recent documentaries on the Manosphere, you’ll understand why this conversation is more important than ever. Across social media and online platforms, a loud and growing chorus of influencers are packaging masculinity as anger, dominance and division, and selling it to men as identity. The impact isn’t just cultural noise. It’s showing up in workplaces, in communities, in families and in the relationships between men and women every single day. At a time when that narrative is gaining ground, we believe the most powerful thing we can do is offer something real in return, a room full of people who know there is a better way.

The International Men’s Day Leaders’ Breakfast is an inclusive gathering open to everyone, men and women alike, from corporations, small businesses, not-for-profits, charities, community organisations and the broader public across Western Australia.

This event exists to celebrate the men who are already making a genuine difference: the mentors and sponsors who invest in others’ growth, the leaders who build psychologically safe workplaces, the community volunteers who show up without recognition, and the everyday role models , fathers, coaches, colleagues and friends, whose quiet contributions shape the people and places around them.

Women have always played a vital role in championing positive masculinity, and their voice, perspective and presence at this breakfast is not just welcome , it is essential.

This year’s theme, Lead with Purpose, speaks to something universal. It is a call to recognise that leadership is not defined by title, industry or gender, it is defined by how we show up for one another. From the boardroom to the community centre, from the hospital ward to the sporting field, from the legal chamber to the local charity, purpose-driven leadership is happening all around us. This morning brings those stories into one room, across sectors and backgrounds, to celebrate what becomes possible when people lead from their values rather than their ego.

Join us for a morning of honest conversation, genuine connection and shared reflection on the kind of leadership, and the kind of world, we all want to be part of building. Whether you are a senior executive, a community worker, a small business owner, a student or simply someone who believes in the power of positive role models, there is a seat at this table for you. Because changing the narrative around men and masculinity is not a job for men alone. It is something we do together.
