Melbourne Wellbeing Group is proud to host the IOCDF Million Steps for OCD walk in Melbourne again in October 2025.

Come and help us raise awareness for OCD!

WHY WE ARE WALKING

We want to increase awareness of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to shed light on the often invisible struggles faced by millions. By fostering understanding and compassion, we can break the stigma surrounding mental health, empower those affected to seek help, and create a supportive environment where no one feels alone in their fight. Together, we can inspire change and promote a world where OCD is recognised, understood, and treated with empathy. Why will you be walking?
