You can also learn more about the topics covered in the White Ribbon Australia Barber Shop by listening to the Fade Out podcast. This podcast was created by the Riverland Domestic Violence Action Group, one of our Community Action Groups. 

Fade Out provides a space for men to dive into questions like “what makes a man, a man?”, “how do I ask someone what they like in the bedroom?” and “how do I talk about my mental health with others?”.

As well as our digital hub, White Ribbon Australia hosts a number of physical pop-up Barber Shops for Australian men to visit in real life.

Our partners include Sydney Barbers, Deadly Hair Dude and The Barber Academy.
