Be part of our national mpox campaign for gay and bi+ guys

We’re looking for LGBTQ+ people in Sydney to feature in a new, national campaign about mpox (monkeypox). With cases rising in Australia, we’re aiming to raise awareness about symptoms, prevention and getting vaccinated.

You don’t need any previous experience to take part — just a great attitude you’re happy to show on camera. Your involvement will help our communities stay safe and well.

About Emen8

Emen8 is an Australia-wide initiative that provides trusted information on sexual health and wellbeing for gay, bi+, and other guys into guys (cis and trans). It’s produced as a partnership between ACON and Thorne Harbour Health. Visit Emen8 online, on Facebook or on Instagram.

About the Campaign

Our campaign aims to promote awareness of mpox, including vaccination, symptoms, transmission and prevention. The messaging helps educate our communities, encourages guys to get vaccinated, and keeps everyone safe.

Looking for you!

We’re looking for community members to feature in short videos for social media. No speaking is required as we’ll use a voiceover artist. The videos will be shared on Emen8’s social media channels and through banner ads on dating apps.

We want to showcase a diverse group of guys (cis and trans) – all ages, ethnicities, body types, and styles.
We highly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people from culturally, linguistically and ethnically diverse, migrant and refugee backgrounds, people with disabilities, and gender-diverse individuals to apply.

We’ll review all applications and choose a group that represents diversity. So, whether you’re a ‘twink’, a ‘bear’, or into drag or leather – we want you!
