In this podcast episode I talk to Leon & Matt from mates in construction.

For those of you whom haven’t heard of mates in construction before, MATES is a charity that was established in 2008 to help reduce the

high level of suicide among Australian construction workers.

Mates provides suicide prevention through community programs on sites and support workers whom need the help 24/7 with there helpline.

Mates are serving the industry Queensland and Northern Territory, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia, and also the Energy industry in Queensland and New South Wales, and nationally to the Mining industry.

Working for the construction industry in general, MATES is independent of employers and unions and never works directly for an employer.

This meaning that if they come to your site and you want to talk to them, they won’t go back and tell your higher level of employment your issues as it is private and confidential.
