Hike to Heal Australia is a not for profit suicide prevention organisation inspiring communities to strengthen wellbeing while walking beside people dealing with mental ill health and suicide loss towards hope, healing and connection.

Hike to Heal Australia arose out of a family tragedy. On November 2nd 2016, the Barton Family lost their son, brother and friend to suicide. Nick Pope was a fun-loving, kind-hearted person who enjoyed a joke and relished making others laugh. His death was both unexpected and devastating to those who knew him. The lives of his family, friends and work colleagues were impacted by inconsolable loss, grief, and regret.
