Ask A Mate

Ask A Mate began with a powerful mission: to give young Australian men a safe, judgment-free space to seek advice about relationships, consent, and domestic or sexual violence. Created in partnership with Beyond DV, one of Australia’s leading charities working to build a future free from domestic violence, the project was born from a simple insight: young people want to ask questions, they just need a trusted place to do it. Beyond DV saw an opportunity to reach young men earlier, support them proactively, and prevent harm before it occurs, but achieving this required a digital experience built around privacy, trust, and human connection.
