The Push-Up Challenge for 2025!

Posted on June 05, 2025

Raising Awareness One Push-Up at a Time

From 4 June to 26 June, students and staff at Open Access College are taking part in the Push-Up Challenge, aiming to complete 3,214 push-ups in 23 days—one for each life lost to suicide in Australia in 2023.

This initiative raises awareness around mental health, with each day’s push-up target linked to an important mental health statistic.

We’re proud to have 6 OAC teams participating, made up of both students and teachers, and we’ve set a fundraising goal of $500 for Lifeline.
