Psychs on Bikes (PoB) is a volunteer-led Australian charity comprised of psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health practitioners, nurses, and supporters who ride motorcycles to rural and remote communities across Australia.

Founded in 2011 by Dr Joseph Dunn, our mission is to reduce barriers to mental health and wellbeing support by meeting people where they are and starting conversations that matter.

Rural and remote Australians face unique challenges, including geographic isolation, limited access to services, economic pressures, and a culture that can make asking for help difficult. Existing mental health services are often stretched thin, leaving many people without the support they need.

Through attendance at community events and organisations, local Pubs and RSLs, cattle stations and motorcycle rallies, our volunteers provide free "body and mind" health checks, wellbeing conversations, mental health information, and connections to local support services.

Our motorcycles play a vital role in engagement. They act as a natural icebreaker, helping us connect with people who may be reluctant to engage with traditional health services. By creating approachable, informal conversations, we help reduce stigma and encourage early help-seeking.

Since 2011, Psychs on Bikes has visited hundreds of communities across Australia and engaged thousands of people in conversations about mental health and wellbeing.

As a completely volunteer-run organisation, we rely on the generosity of sponsors, donors, and supporters to make our work possible. Together, we believe supporting regional and remote communities is a shared responsibility that requires collective action.

We are always seeking new members, partners, sponsors, and supporters who share our commitment to improving mental health outcomes across Australia.
