Triple M goes quiet so the mental health conversation gets louder

On Monday, July 6, Triple M will again switch off the mics across of its all 49 stations nationally between 6am and 6pm for its eighth annual No Talk Day.

This year, Triple M is strengthening the impact of No Talk Day by partnering with three grassroots organisations making a real difference in communities across Australia: Are You Bogged Mate, Find Ya Feet and TIACS. Together, they share a common goal – encouraging Australian men to prioritise their mental wellbeing, check in with those around them and start conversations that could change, or even save lives.

All shows, news, traffic updates and advertising across Triple M will pause to give Triple M listeners the space to check in with themselves and each other.

Every day, an average of nine Australians die by suicide, and seven of them are men.*

While the statistics are confronting, the message remains clear: talking saves lives.

For the first time, the No Talk Day message will extend well beyond a single day. Throughout July, Triple M and LiSTNR will shine a spotlight on mental health through dedicated content, stories and conversations, ensuring the momentum created on No Talk Day continues long after the microphones switch back on.

No Talk Day will also be supported by a dedicated collection of podcasts on LiSTNR, featuring powerful stories, expert insights and real conversations with our grassroots organisations, designed to encourage Australians to check in on themselves, their mates and their loved ones.

Whether it’s picking up the phone and calling a friend, going for a walk together, or reaching out for professional support, No Talk Day encourages listeners to take action and start a conversation.

Throughout the day (6am–6pm), carefully curated music will be featured alongside powerful messages and personal stories from our featured mental health organisations.

Jamie Angel, Head of Triple M Network, said: “For eight years, No Talk Day has been about creating space for Australians to pause, reflect and connect. What began as a single day has become a powerful reminder that checking in with the people around us can make a real difference.”

“This year, we’re proud to be working alongside Are You Bogged Mate, Find Ya Feet and TIACS – organisations that are doing incredible work where it matters most, in local communities and on the ground with Australians who need support.”

“Mental health isn’t something we should only talk about once a year. If No Talk Day inspires someone to check in on a mate, ask for help, or start a conversation they’ve been putting off, then we’ve achieved what we set out to do.”

Triple M’s No Talk Day will be heard across all 49 stations nationwide and on the LiSTNR app from 6am to 6pm on Monday, July 6. Making mental health a priority is important at any time. For support, text or call TIACS on 0488 846 988 (Mon-Fri 8am to 10pm) or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
