For more than a decade, Tai Tupou has been at the forefront of mental health advocacy and suicide prevention across Australasia. Drawing on over 12 years of lived experience and frontline work, Tai has dedicated his career to keeping people alive, building resilience, and creating conversations that matter.
A highly sought-after speaker, Tai works with professional athletes, business leaders, organisations, and everyday people, delivering powerful messages that break stigma, ignite hope, and inspire action. His authentic style and ability to connect with any audience—whether in a boardroom, sports club, or community hall—has made him a trusted voice in the mental health space.
As the founder of The Last Chance Project, a men’s mental health charity, Tai has created a platform dedicated to supporting men in their most vulnerable moments and giving them the tools to rewrite their story. Through this work, he has built networks of support that extend from grassroots communities to high-performance environments, ensuring that help is accessible and stigma-free.
Tai’s work goes beyond raising awareness; he equips people with the strategies to navigate challenges, foster wellbeing, and support others. His impact has been felt across sporting codes, corporate sectors, and community groups, where he has guided thousands toward greater mental strength, leadership, and care for one another.
As one of Australasia’s most respected mental health advocates and advisors, Tai continues to challenge the way we think about wellbeing—reminding us that the most important thing we can build is each other.
