Connecting Australian Men With The Right Professional Support.

At Mate Talk we know that sometimes a conversation with a Mate isn't enough. Sometimes what's needed is ongoing professional clinical support — and when that moment comes we want to make sure our clients get connected with the right person quickly, warmly, and without having to figure it out alone.

That's where our Preferred Mental Health Professional program comes in.

For Health Professionals

Are you a psychologist, counsellor, or mental health professional?

We are currently building our network of Preferred Psychology Partners across Australia.

As a Preferred Partner you will receive warm referrals from Mate Talk clients who are ready and motivated to take the next step toward professional support. These are not cold leads — they are men who have already taken the brave step of reaching out, who understand the value of support, and who are looking for the right professional to continue their journey with.

What's included in the Preferred Partner program:

Our Preferred Psychology Partner program is currently in development and will be launching soon.

If you are a psychologist, counsellor, or mental health professional who is interested in becoming a Preferred Partner we would love to hear from you.

We believe the best outcomes for Australian men happen when good services work together. Mate Talk and professional psychology aren't competitors, we're complementary. And together we can make sure no Australian man falls through the cracks.

For Clients
