You are seen. You are valued. You are not alone.​
On 11 September 2027, we're asking Australia to stand together.
Every day, people around us are fighting battles we cannot see.
They might be our friends, our neighbours, our workmates, our family members or someone we pass in the street.
Behind a smile can be a struggle. Behind silence can be unimaginable pain.
At Pumicestone Passage Pirates Incorporated, we believe nobody should have to navigate life's darkest waters alone.
That's why we're launching #piratesofftheplank Day 2027, a national movement dedicated to mental health awareness, suicide prevention and human connection.
We're inviting Australians from every walk of life to join us in one simple, powerful act of solidarity.
One Pirate Salute. One Black-and-White Photograph. One Message of Hope.
Together, we can make the invisible visible.

TAKE YOUR SUPPORT FURTHER

OUR WORLD RECORD AMBITION
Can Pirates Inc Make History Together?
We have an ambitious dream.
To bring together an extraordinary number of people performing the Pirate Salute and sharing their photographs as part of one national movement.
Our goal is to pursue official Guinness World Records recognition.
We are currently seeking a dedicated corporate partner to help fund the application, verification and associated costs.

You don't need to own a boat.
You don't need to know how to fish.
You don't need to live near the ocean.
You simply need to believe that every life matters.
On Saturday, 11 September 2027, raise your hand and help us make the invisible visible.
