What is Let's Talk?

In this moving series, Hamish sits down with renowned Australian sporting personalities like Ash Barty, Ian Thorpe, Ange Postecoglou and Nathan Buckley, delving into their personal setbacks and triumphs to emphasise the importance of open conversations about mental health. Let’s Talk aims to normalise day-to-day struggles and encourage those in need to seek help.

Social connection and mental wellbeing

Mental health affects all of us, either directly or indirectly, with an estimated 1 in 5 Australians experiencing mental health challenges in any given year. As a leading life and health insurer, AIA Australia understands the crucial role social connection plays in mental and physical wellbeing. That is why we are the presenting partner of Hamish McLachlan’s series, Let’s Talk.
