Climb for a Cause

Let's rally together and make a difference in the fight for mental health!

Climb for a Cause is back and better than ever, following its incredible inaugural event in 2022 that saw over 550 participants and raised over $70,000 for the Black Dog Institute.

Mental illness affects so many of our loved ones, neighbours, and fellow Australians, yet far too many go without the help they need. Your support is crucial in making a real impact and changing lives through ground-breaking research, education programs, and support services provided by the Black Dog Institute.

So, let's join forces and scale new heights, not just physically, but also in our mission to create a mentally healthy Australia for all. Grab your family, friends, co-workers, community group, or sports team and climb during the day on Sunday, May 7, 2023 for an unforgettable experience. Take in the breathtaking views of Sydney while being a mental health hero and making a difference!

THE CLIMB

Climb for a Cause will take place on day Climbs only and your journey commences the moment you register and finishes when you reach the Summit of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on a Hybrid Climb Route, unique to this event. You will ascend the eastern upper arch of the Bridge and enjoy breathtaking views of the Sydney Opera House, then once you reach the top you can take a moment to reflect and commend your achievement with those around you, before making your way back down the western arch for a closer view inside the giant beams of steel that make up the arches of the legendary “Coathanger”.

Each group of 14 climbers will be led by one of our expert Climb Leaders, who will keep you safe and entertained along the way with guided commentary on the fascinating history of Sydney and the iconic Harbour Bridge. The total Day Climb experience will last for approximately 3 hours.
