Australian entrepreneurs outpace peers with proactive mental health approaches

Regional variation in preventative approaches

A Bupa-commissioned study, in association with Oxford Economics, surveyed 500 active entrepreneurs across five countries – Australia, Poland, Spain, the UK, and the US – during October 2025. The findings indicated that Australia’s entrepreneur population reports higher engagement with mental health management than counterparts elsewhere. Among the surveyed Australian business leaders, 14% reported engaging in preventative mental health practices. This compares with figures from the US and the UK, each at 6%, while Spain recorded 11%.
