"Black Dog Ride is a massive leader in real world conversations.... making mental health conversations real and practical."
Lifeline Australia CEO Pete Shmigel


"There's nothing like some motorcycles coming to town to get people to talk, and they say, well what's that about? That gets the conversations going, that improves awareness."
Dr Graham Jacobs, WA MP


"Black Dog Ride's 1 Dayer has an important role in building awareness of depression and encouraging Australians, particularly men, to seek help early."
Fiona Kalaf, CEO Lifeline WA


"Yep, there were some big loud black bikes and big (and small) blokes (and ladies) in leather, and they were a group of wonderful people. Black Dog Riders were not just out to enjoy an organised bike ride together, but to strengthen the communities they rode through and to support each other to improve their mental health."
Betty Kitchener, OAM, CEO MHFA


"Mental health is about all of us, it's not something to hide in the closet and Black Dog Ride is doing that, it's having a very positive impact."
Jenni Morley, Health Worker, Coober Pedy Hospital and Health Service
