Early detection saves lives!
ManUp! is leading the way in prostate cancer education and support in regional and rural areas throughout Queensland and New South Wales. Our mission is simple, stop deaths from prostate cancer by educating men in these communities and encouraging early detection by annual testing.1 in 5 Queensland men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer by the age of 85*.
We need your support to change these statistics because the good news is that IF detected early, the survival rate is much higher.
This is what we are up against
Help us make a difference to the lives of men living in rural and regional areas.
- 3,500 men died from Prostate Cancer in 2020
- There are more than 200,000 men living with prostate cancer in Australia
- Queensland has the highest incidence of prostate cancer than any other state in Australia
- Men who live regionally have a 27% higher mortality rate from prostate cancer then men from metropolitan areas

Determined to make a difference
We have been around for 10 years.
ManUp! was established in 2010 by Brian and Jill Costello after Brian was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and they had difficulty finding relevant information and support about the disease.
Sadly, after battling several melanomas and lung cancer, Brian passed away in March 2018.Jill and Leah (Brian’s daughter) now spend 10 months on the road visiting more than 70 regional and rural communities educating men about prostate cancer and the need for regular testing

That was an awesome talk and I know everyone got a lot out of it. Most lads from our team learnt something. Just passing on my appreciation. I have booked in for a PSA at 8am tomorrow when I get home. Good stuff.
I just want to share with everyone what a great presentation we had yesterday with the ManUp team about prostate cancer. The presenters were fantastic.
Being a prostate cancer survivor at 47 years of age I hope that I can encourage everyone in your teams / villages / offices to contact ManUp and take this presentation to all of our teams as early detection saved my life and I am so lucky!
I just wanted to let you know that the presentation about prostate cancer was greatly appreciated. The presentation dismissed a lot of myths about the disease and highlighted the important things like the PSA test, getting it done every year and creating a baseline to compare your score. It was a very worthwhile presentation
