Lochie Carey (born 20 December 1998 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), professionally known as Lochie Carey, is a renowned Australian model, event producer, video editor, actor, and beauty king. Lochie gained international recognition after winning the prestigious Manhunt International 2022 title on 1 October 2022 in Manila, Philippines. He became only the second Australian to ever claim this crown, following in the footsteps of Brett Wilson, who won the title in 2000. Born and raised in Melbourne, Lochie’s journey in the modelling industry began at a young age, and he quickly made his mark in the industry. 

Before his international victory, he secured the Manhunt Australia 2022 title, earning him the honour of representing our country on the global stage. The 2022 Manhunt International competition was held at the luxurious Okada Manila in Metro Manila, where Lochie dominated the competition, advancing through the Top 16, Top 10, and finally the Top 5 before being declared the overall winner. In addition to his global title, Lochie was awarded Best Physique and excelled in the digital challenges, which fast-tracked his success. His victory was a historic moment for Australia, as he succeeded Paul Luzineau of the Netherlands to become Australia’s first Manhunt International champion in over two decades. Lochie’s journey didn’t stop there. His success has opened doors in various fields, including acting and event production, where he continues to thrive. 

Beyond his professional success, Lochie Carey uses his platform to raise awareness about men's mental health, recognising the challenges men face in seeking support and breaking the stigma surrounding mental well-being. As someone who embodies resilience and perseverance, Lochie actively promotes conversations around mental health, encouraging men to speak openly about their struggles and seek help when needed.

He emphasises the importance of building strong support networks and shares personal insights on maintaining mental well-being through physical fitness, creative outlets, and mindfulness. Lochie supports national mental health initiatives and advocates for access to essential resources for men of all backgrounds, also utilising his videography and social media presence to champion those causes.
