Freemasons Centre For Male Health And Wellbeing
Freemasons Centre for Male Health & Wellbeing (FCMHW) brings together researchers, stakeholder organisations and consumers from across South Australia and the Northern Territory.
The Centre is improving the health and wellbeing of all males and consequently their families and communities while upholding the principles of equity, respect and integrity.
The SA Division of the FCMHW is embedded in the Lifelong Health Theme at SAHMRI and configured into 3 main streams:
- Chronic disorders (physical and psychological) and cancer
- Health system and service innovation
- Males in society
Each of these streams integrates health equity and a focus on marginalised, social disadvantaged and remotely located men. The Centre’s platforms include basic science, cohorts and registries, clinical trials and qualitative and naturalistic studies.

SAHMRI is located on Kaurna Country. We pay respects to the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We are committed to embracing knowledge and culture as we continue our working journey to incorporate Aboriginal health research across all of our themes and further reconciliation.
