Focussing on Wellness for a Stronger Future
As we approach the end of another busy year, we bring you this festive issue of Civil Connect, focusing on wellness in our industry and our lives. Wellness, encompassing physical, mental, and emotional health, is the cornerstone of every individual’s life. It is the bedrock upon which the strength and resilience of our teams, civil industry, and community are founded. How well we feel and conduct ourselves as individuals will determine how effectively we can collaborate and support one another, to build a stronger, healthier, and more inclusive industry.
In civil infrastructure, we take pride in undertaking the hard jobs, the big projects, and navigating the challenging conditions that define our work. From building roads that connect communities to laying the groundwork for essential services, the dedication and grit shown by our industry professionals are part and parcel of what is making South Australia stronger and more resilient. It’s a privilege for us to be part of an industry that rises to every challenge with ingenuity and determination.
In this issue, we’re proud to feature several important initiatives that highlight the critical role of wellness within the civil infrastructure sector:
• CCF SA Program: Empowering Individuals and Transforming the Community
This program underscores the power of collective efforts to foster better health and wellbeing across the civil infrastructure industry. By prioritising workforce empowerment, we can create pathways to effect positive changes that strengthen our workforce and the communities we serve.
• Why Wellness Matters More Than Ever in the Workplace (WIC)
A focus on workplace wellness is not just an investment in individuals but a strategic move to enhance organisational success, improve safety outcomes, and build resilience across teams and projects.
• Building Resilience: Supporting the Health and Wellbeing of Women in Civil Construction (CACL)
Female workers and apprentices face a unique set of health and wellbeing challenges in the male dominated industry, and we are committed to help foster a culture of support via building peer networks and open forums.
• BMD Teams Up with TradeMutt to Champion Mental Health in Construction
Mental health remains a pressing issue in construction and civil infrastructure, and partnerships like this demonstrate the impact of innovation and collaboration in breaking down stigma and providing meaningful support to workers on-site and in the office.
As you immerse yourself in the publication, you will come across something you can identify yourself or someone you know with – the ‘Fresh Start for the New Year’ feature on addressing poor eating habits, especially for industry employees who often work outdoors and/or long hours. It offers ample food for thought, especially during the holiday season.
These articles offer valuable insights into tackling not only deeply personal and systemic challenges that affect our industry on all levels but charge us with the enthusiasm and dedication to respond with measures to overcome adversity and effect positive changes.
This year has brought its fair share of challenges. The SA Housing Roadmap delivered much needed certainty and a positive commitment to addressing our housing crisis. Meanwhile, SA Water infrastructure demands continue to grow, supported by the establishment of the new super housing portfolio – the Housing Infrastructure Planning Development Unit (HIPDU), now known as the Growth and Infrastructure Coordination Unit (GICU) –a unit dedicated to supporting our rapidly expanding state. Despite our industry once again being overlooked in the Federal Skills Funding Priority List,
you, as civil contractors and associates, have shown the resilience and commitment that truly set our industry apart.
The work you do – often behind the scenes and in demanding environments – has a lasting impact on the prosperity and wellbeing of our state. Your efforts will only drive South Australia forward and strengthen the communities we live and work in. Take pride in all you’ve achieved and the difference you’ve made.
Wellness is a shared responsibility. Together, we can lead the way towards a healthier, more compassionate future for our employees, apprentices, members, and the broader civil infrastructure community.
As we look to 2025, let’s make it the central pillar of our personal and professional lives. Welcome the new year with renewed energy and in truly egalitarian spirit to champion wellbeing causes – for our stronger future.
Wishing you and your personal and work families a safe, restful, and joyful holiday season.

Civil Train SA and Renewal SA –partnering to o er students immersive experiences and insights into the construction sector
This semester, Civil Train SA, in collaboration with the Renewal SA Works Program, organised two bus tour Immersion Programs for high school students to visit CCF SA member construction sites.
The Renewal SA Works Program is Renewal SA’s training and employment initiative focused on providing opportunities for training, work experience, engagement, and employment. The Renewal SA Works Program makes these immersion programs possible by financially supporting the bus and the presence of a Civil Train SA Trainer.
The day begins with students being greeted at their school, where Civil Train SA provides them with the necessary PPE for the visit. Representatives from the Renewal SA Works Program introduce their initiative and promote opportunities for work experience, before students board a bus to visit a CCF SA member civil site. Upon arrival, they complete an induction, take part in a guided site tour where they interact with employees and apprentices, enjoy lunch, and have the chance to ask questions before returning to school by bus.

International College visited BDT Construction, where they toured a newly completed subdivision in Kidman Park. During the visit, they participated in hands-on activities, including inspecting utility connections, learning about various types of construction pipes, setting up a tripod for an automatic level, installing and removing blades on a quick-cut saw, and installing a fire hydrant connected to the main water supply. This immersive

They had the chance to see a 14m Caterpillar grader and a 32-tonne Hitachi excavator up close, interact with operators about their daily responsibilities, and hear from a first-year female apprentice with Civil Apprenticeships and Careers Ltd, who shared her experiences working on a large-scale project.
Having a trainer join the tour helps
Development Manager Amy Reid said: “These immersive experiences provide students with a broad and insightful perspective on the many facets of civil construction and the diverse career pathways available. They showcase the dynamic nature of the industry, highlighting how no two days are ever the same. We are grateful to our CCF SA members for dedicating their time to host these programs; these types of programs would not be
CCF SA Program: Empowering Individuals and
Transforming
the Community
Written by Marisa Kemp
At the Civil Contractors Federation (CCF SA) Port Adelaide site, innovative programs are transforming the lives of long-term unemployed individuals while creating lasting benefits for the local community.
Here’s an example worth mentioning. Since November 2023, and through an 8-week program, up to 40 Workskil Australia participants have developed the skills, capacity, and confidence to re-enter the workforce, all while contributing to meaningful community projects.
In this program, participants engage in tasks such as constructing bird boxes, which are then donated to local wildlife parks, supporting conservation efforts and fostering biodiversity. Additionally, they craft planter boxes from recycled pallets, carefully repurposing and staining them to enhance the aesthetics of the City of Adelaide* clipper ship’s precinct, a key development transforming into a vibrant local tourist destination.
These recycling and repurposing tasks will not only help participants develop practical skills like carpentry, painting, and design, but also instil a deep sense of purpose and pride in them as they see their work contribute to the improvement of the community. By utilising sustainable practices, such as the repurposing of materials, the program also teaches environmental responsibility, highlighting the importance of reducing waste while creating something of value.
This approach showcases CCF SA’s commitment to fostering workforce engagement while giving back to the Port Adelaide Enfield (PAE) Council area. The program’s focus on sustainability, creativity, and community contribution builds both practical expertise and personal fulfillment, demonstrating how collective effort can drive meaningful change. Through these initiatives, and ongoing collaboration between CCF SA, Workskil Australia and PAE Council, the CCF SA Programs Team Port Adelaide site continues to empower individuals and benefit the local area, creating a legacy of growth, pride, and community spirit.
*City of Adelaide is the world’s oldest surviving composite clipper ship that is the centrepiece of a seaport village in Port Adelaide’s inner harbour.
BMD teams up with TradeMutt to champion mental health in construction
On World Suicide Prevention Day, as part of its commitment to mental health awareness, the BMD Group – Australia’s largest privately-owned civil contractor –announced a significant partnership with TradeMutt workwear and TIACS mental health counselling. This initiative aims to enhance mental health awareness and support across BMD’s workforce of 2300 employees.
With mental health challenges rising across the construction industry, BMD’s collaboration with TradeMutt and TIACS highlights its proactive approach to promoting a culture of openness and commitment to providing access to tailored mental health resources.
TradeMutt – renowned for its bold and vibrant workwear – designs clothing that sparks conversations about mental health, breaking down barriers and encouraging dialogue among workers. This initiative is complemented by TIACS (This Is A Conversation Starter), which offers free and accessible counselling services via phone and text for blue collar workers. This partnership provides BMD employees, site workers and subcontractors with direct access to professional mental health support relevant to them when they need it.
To support this partnership, BMD donated $30,000 to TIACS and offered employees free TradeMutt shirts, with 1300 team members embracing the initiative. The collaboration’s centrepiece is ‘Funky Shirt Friday’, where employees nationwide don their TradeMutt shirts every Friday to foster discussions about mental health.
This partnership builds on BMD’s broader commitment to workforce wellbeing. The Wellness Green program, developed by ex-North Queensland Cowboys Coach, the late Paul Green, a close friend and partner of the BMD Group, monitors employees’ daily health indicators and provides personalised coaching. The program, which is available for adoption industry wide, includes monthly educational workshops led by subject matter experts, offering people working within the construction industry practical tools and information to enhance their daily lives.
BMD has also enhanced its support services by engaging PeopleSense by Altius for its Employee Assistance Program, offering six free sessions per issue for employees and their families annually. Furthermore, a new partnership with Medmate gives employees discounted access to telehealth services, ensuring fast and affordable healthcare solutions.
South Australia BMD Construction Manager Josh Sampson highlights the importance of these initiatives in setting a new standard for mental health in the sector.
“At BMD, we’re committed to leading the way in creating a civil construction industry that prioritises health and wellbeing, making it a positive environment for people to build lasting careers. Whether it’s accessing professional psychological support at no cost or quickly consulting a discounted general practitioner to obtain a prescription, we’re committed to empowering our team to take charge of their overall mental health and wellbeing,” Mr Sampson explained.
“The collaboration with TradeMutt represents a vibrant cultural shift. It’s transforming how we work by fostering open conversations about mental health and showcasing the construction industry as a supportive and uplifting place to be. Seeing BMD employees across BMD’s more than 130 sites and offices proudly wearing their TradeMutt shirts and engaging in meaningful conversations – it’s truly something special.”
“We’re always looking for people who share BMD’s values and want to make a difference. If you’re considering a change, explore the available roles on our website. Join a team that prioritises mental health and wellbeing while building South Australia’s future with industry-leading infrastructure,” Mr Sampson said.

RMG Christmas Drinks
Despite the heatwave, Eastwood at the award winning Arkaba Hotel was our oasis for this year’s RMG Christmas Drinks, our third and final event for 2024. The beautifully well-lit function venue with its own private bar and outdoor area was the perfect spot to party in good company!
Sure, only 28 of us arrived out of the 37 we planned for, but hey, more food and drinks for us! The 10-course cocktail menu was a lavish spread of chicken shasliks, Hiramasa king fish slices, smoked salmon crepes, sushi, beef sliders, and more. Dessert came in the form of decadent chocolate peanut brownies, sticky date pudding and other sweet treats.

The open bar offered tap beer, champagne, reds and whites, and even whiskey, gin and vodka to lift our spirits… not that we needed it… our spirits were already high! It was such a hit (surprise, surprise), that we extended our session by 30 minutes for a glorious two and a half hour celebratory drink-fest.
We had so much fun, we even forgot to take photos!

THE BOSS
Ken Lundie-Jenkins General Manager
Pro Bitumen
M: 0477 865 386
E: ken@probitumen.com.au
asphalt laying services, Pro Bitumen has been operating for 18 years and has built a reputation for excellence in the industry. It takes pride in using the latest technology and modern equipment to ensure that every project is completed to the highest standard, no matter the size or scope.
Pro Bitumen has proudly worked all over the South Australian community including Adelaide and regional areas across our state.
General Manager Ken Lundie-Jenkins values the family-owned business as one with a strong company culture. With 30 years of experience in the construction industry, he is dedicated to running the business, liaising with clients, integrating new initiatives, and promoting an overall healthy culture. He enjoys working with like-minded companies to build a better future, starting each
day with a catch-up with crews, and finding the best value for clients.
Outside of work, Ken enjoys basketball, exploring his state, and coaching his daughter's basketball team.
We asked him about his work.
What is Pro Bitumen all about?
Pro Bitumen is all about fixing base work, to a high-quality standard, in a timely manner. Pro Bitumen has been doing this for 20 years.
What is Pro Bitumen’s vision and approach to customers?
At Pro Bitumen, we like to say that excellence isn’t an act, it’s a habit. We are always there when our customers need us. That means that I am always ‘on’, so to speak –I’m on call for our clients and they can call me directly if they have a question, rather than leaving a message or speaking with someone further down the line. I’m a ‘hands on’ general manager and that means I am always willing to step in and help if there’s a call for it.

Tell us about the career path that led you to heading up Pro Bitumen?
I started out in 1997 working as a former and laser plain operator. Following that I worked on a cotton farm, driving graders. I had a 6-week holiday booked in Adelaide and ended up working at Mitsubishi Motors in their manufacturing department. The jump to civil happened next. I moved to McMahon Services as labourer/leading hand and also completed my Project Management Diploma, all in the space of seven years.
Next step was work with Safe Roads for two years as Project Manager for SA, NT and finally WA. From Safe Roads I went to Safety Barrier Solutions for seven years as State Manager.
I was then with OTM Civil for two years as Operations Manager, then spent awhile with Topcoat as
Let’s
talk about the Pro Bitumen team
The Pro Bitumen team is very committed. We’ve never simply settled for a person who matches the job description when we are filling a vacancy or growing the team. We always aim for a team member who is one step better and more highly skilled so that we have the right talent onboard to tackle challenging jobs. We look for qualifications and experience, sure, but we are also after initiative and energy – real enthusiasm for the industry and the task at hand.
Asphalt is like icing on a cake. The surface it’s used on must be smooth, as the asphalt won’t hide any imperfections that are under the surface So, the final result we deliver is dependent in part on the surface we are left to work with –
What’s next?
Pro Bitumen will ‘keep on keeping on’. There is a lot of new tech and new techniques arriving in the industry and it’s wise to learn it, understand the benefits and embrace it if it’s something that will aid efficiency or help us deliver a better result. Emerging new GPS tech and paving tech have plenty of potential to further improve accuracy and quality of finish, so we’re always watching those. As far as efficiency is concerned, there’s an onboard hydrogen generator now available. It has the potential to improve the fuel economy of diesel engines while boosting torque and helping the engine run cleaner, so we’re interested in trialling that. You can’t sit still. The industry is constantly evolving, and part of our job is to move with it so we can benefit from the advantages, pass those benefits on to our clients and remain competitive. To the lay person, I suppose bitumen doesn’t look much different now than it did 20 years ago, but the technology used to apply it today means that the process is faster, and the finish is better. We’ll continue doing whatever it takes to deliver the best possible result on time for our customers.
WIC Festive Drinks wrap up 2024
some big names addressing the crowd.
Jon Whelan of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport kicked off the event with a brief address relating to the magnitude of civil projects on the horizon in Adelaide and the opportunities that they represent. A great speaker with plenty of insight to share, it is always a privilege to hear from Mr Whelan.
An expert panel also featured at the event. CCF SA CEO Rebecca Pickering introduced Tram Grade Separation Projects experts Winnie Zhu from McConnell Dowell, as well as Georgina McClure from the Tram Grade Separation Alliance. It’s hard to imagine two people better placed to field questions related to this significant project, and the panel’s depth of knowledge brought enormous value to the evening.
Of course there was also plenty of time for networking, catching up, great food and even a cocktail or two. Guests took the opportunity to take in some entertainment and wrap up 2024 in fine WIC style. Sincere thanks to BMD for their ongoing support to Women In Civil, as well as Principal Sponsors CPB Contractors and Major Sponsors BDT Construction SA.

Why Wellness Matters More Than Ever in the Workplace
In today's demanding work environment, prioritising employee wellness is more important than ever.
A healthy workforce is a happy workforce, and a happy workforce is a productive one.
Here's why:
• Increased Productivity: Studies have shown that employees who feel healthy and energised are more productive, take fewer sick days, and have higher-quality output.
• Improved Morale and Engagement: A supportive wellness culture can boost employee morale, increase job satisfaction, increase engagement, and reduce turnover rates.
• Enhanced Creativity and Innovation: When employees feel well-rested, stress-free, and supported, they're better equipped to think creatively, problem-solve effectively, and develop innovative solutions.
• Attracting and Retaining Top Talent: In today's competitive job market, companies prioritising employee wellness are more attractive to top talent.
By investing in employee wellness, companies can create a positive work environment that benefits everyone involved.
We asked the Women in Civil Committee what Wellness looks like to them:
“Outside of work, I try to be as active as I can daily. Every day, I commit to some form of exercise, whether it’s running, a tough weightlifting session, a beautiful yoga class (at the gym or at home in my lounge), or even a short lunchtime walk to refresh my mind. This is more than about being fit, but more importantly, it supports my overall wellbeing, helping me nurture both a healthy mind and heart.” (BM)
“To protect my physical and mental health, I make sure I have daily movement, such as walking or going to the gym; every day I take a walk during my break while at work to ensure I get this movement and head outside! To ensure mental wellness is maintained, I focus on aspects of mental growth, such as personal or professional development, and continue to educate myself on industry practice and standards.” (AW)
“Working in what is seen as a ‘support role’ in the civil/construction industry, it is important that all team members are included, heard, and respected for their roles and their part in the team, for its wellness. A supportive team helps all members and is open to all ideas. A healthy team recognises the strength of all to achieve a united goal.” (MG)
“As a recruiter in the civil industry, wellness for me means staying connected with a trusted support network and offering help whenever I can, as giving back to others helps me feel fulfilled. I also prioritise physical health by getting at least 15 minutes of sun daily, whether it’s a quick lunchtime walk or making some of my calls outside.” (LL)
Our committee’s workplaces are prioritising the wellbeing of their staff by regularly checking in on each other at site BBQs, office morning teas, or social events away from the office. These gatherings offer an opportunity to connect and support one another, contributing to a healthy mind and fostering team spirit, and promoting work-life balance by encouraging staff to take breaks and prioritise self-care, ensuring a healthier, and a more balanced approach to work. By maintaining a connection with Mates in Construction, workers can access 24/7 mental health support for work-related or personal issues.
The benefits of prioritising wellness are undeniable – from increased productivity and improved morale, to enhanced creativity and reduced healthcare costs.

male-dominated field. Recognising the importance of fostering resilience and promoting wellbeing, Civil Apprenticeships and Careers Ltd (CACL) recently hosted a powerful afternoon session for their women apprentices, creating a platform to discuss barriers, share experiences, and prioritise health.
Connecting for Wellbeing
One of the key takeaways from the session was the realisation that these women are not alone. Across the industry, many women face similar hurdles, such as balancing work and personal life, addressing stereotypes, and managing the physical demands of their roles. By sharing their stories, participants built a sense of camaraderie, reducing feelings of isolation – a significant factor in mental health. “Knowing others have faced the same challenges and overcome them gave me a huge confidence boost,” one apprentice shared.
Health and Wellbeing Challenges
The session highlighted common health and wellbeing concerns faced by women in civil construction, including:
• Physical Strain: Handling heavy equipment and enduring long hours can sometimes take a toll on physical health.
• Mental Health Pressures: Coping with workplace dynamics, stereotypes, and sometimes a lack of support can impact mental wellbeing.
• Work-Life Balance: Juggling family responsibilities and unpredictable schedules can lead to burnout.
Practical Solutions and Support
Discussions during the session emphasised strategies to overcome these challenges, such as:
• Fostering Workplace Support: Encouraging employers to provide adequate facilities, inclusive policies, and flexible arrangements where possible.
• Building Peer Networks: Connecting with other apprentices and colleagues to share advice, resources, and encouragement.
• Focusing on Self-Care: Making time for physical fitness, mindfulness practices, and regular breaks during demanding workdays.
• Promoting Open Conversations: Creating safe spaces to discuss mental health and wellbeing without stigma.
Industry Collaboration for a Healthier Future
CACL is committed to fostering a culture of support and wellbeing across the industry. By hosting sessions like this one, we aim to shine a light on the importance of mental and physical health while empowering apprentices to take charge of their wellbeing.
Together, we can build not only stronger infrastructure but also a stronger, healthier workforce. The civil industry thrives when its people do – and this session was a step forward in ensuring women apprentices feel supported and valued.

Suicide in Construction: Transforming Perception and Saving Lives
The theme for World Suicide Prevention Day (2024–2026) is ‘Changing the Narrative on Suicide’. It is about transforming the way the complex issue is perceived and changed from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support.
Facts And Figures
In 2023, more than 3,000 people died by suicide in Australia.
Of the people attempting suicide about 485 individuals would be left with a disability (a number far greater than the number of deaths from traffic accidents, homicides and other assaults).
The risk of suicide for construction workers is 53% higher than that for people in other areas of work. (Between 2001-2018, 209 construction workers in SA died from suicide, out of a total of 634 non-construction workers).
Apprentices in construction are two and a half times more likely to die by suicide than other people their age.
Approximately 40% of people who die by suicide fail to seek professional help.
Approximately 190 Australians (in the construction, mining and energy sectors) suicide each year – every second day, a construction worker dies by suicide in Australia’s third-largest industry, one which employs about 10% of the total workforce.
The suicide rate among construction workers is 8 times higher than the rate of workplace fatalities.
Profile
Suicide rates differ by state in an industry that is
Construction workers under 45 years of age experience a significantly higher incidence of suicide compared to their non-construction peers. This highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions and support within the industry. High levels of job insecurity and the transient nature of construction work often lead to feelings of instability and stress. Workers in the industry frequently face extended shifts and long working hours, which can elevate stress levels and leave little time for personal well-being or recovery.
The culture within construction often values toughness and self-reliance, discouraging individuals from seeking help. Mental health stigma further compounds the issue, preventing many from accessing the resources and support they need. Social isolation, particularly among FIFO (Fly-In-Fly-Out) and DIDO (Drive-In-Drive-Out) workers, can exacerbate feelings of loneliness and depression, creating additional mental health challenges.
To address these challenges, it is critical to foster a supportive environment that reduces stigma and encourages open discussions about mental health. By implementing targeted interventions and promoting mental well-being, the construction industry can take meaningful steps to support its workers and reduce the incidence of suicidality.
Impacts On The Industry
Here are some key effects:
Workforce Productivity
Training new workers to replace those lost is time-consuming and costly, which, in the long term, also impacts on the industry's ability to meet project deadlines and maintain quality standards.
Economic Costs
The financial impact of suicide includes direct costs such as medical expenses, legal issues, and compensation claims, and indirect costs like the loss of expertise, and the time required to recruit and train new employees.
Workplace Morale
The stigma around mental health issues that often prevents workers from seeking help, can create a toxic work environment where workers feel unsupported and isolated.
Project Delays
The sudden loss of workers could lead to work delays and financial penalties, straining relationships with clients, and resulting in increased costs as projects take longer to complete and incur additional resources to stay on schedule.
Reputation
The reputation of a company with high suicide rates may be tarnished, hampering its capacity to attract new employees and business.
Support Services
Support organisations are stepping up to throw a lifeline with mental health support and suicide prevention programs, to break down the stigma around mental health, and encourage workers to seek help when needed. While some focus on helping workers take control of their mental health, others aim to increase access to health care services and reduce access to lethal means among workers at risk of suicide.
Mates In Construction
Here in South Australia, MATES in Construction (MATES) is exemplary with what it does. Featured in a World Health Organization global resource as an example of best practice, the not-for-profit organisation collaborates with researchers to effect positive change. It runs a program that is a workplace-focused, multi-component suicide prevention initiative with training and support aimed at reducing the high rates of suicide among construction workers.
MATES aims to reduce psychological distress and suicidality among construction workers by increasing help-seeking, help-offering, and help-acceptance behaviours, enhancing social connections in the workplace, reducing public stigma, and catalysing a shift towards more mentally healthy work environments.
and provide direct assistance to workers in need:
General Awareness Talk (GAT) –raises awareness about suicide and mental health issues among workers and provides practical guidance on how MATES can help. It aims to reach at least 80% of workers on-site.
Connector training (Connector) –trains volunteers on-site to help colleagues in crisis by connecting them to appropriate support services. MATES aims to have at least 1 in 20 workers trained as Connectors across a workplace.
Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) – trains people to help keep suicidal individuals ‘safe’ by listening, talking, and responding to their concerns, and connect them to professional help. Those trained are comparable to first aid officers on-site.
Other people instrumental in the program’s operation include Field Officers and Case Managers. Field Officers establish the program on new sites and provide ongoing support, and conduct GAT training, support Connectors, and offer counselling to workers. They also respond to critical incidents and provide postvention support. The Case Managers assist at risk workers by connecting them to appropriate services such as Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), financial counselling, drug and alcohol services, and family counselling. They follow up to ensure the help received is effective.
Program Logic Model
To manage the different components, the Program Logic Model is designed to outline the resources (Inputs), activities (Outputs), and intended changes or benefits (Outcomes). The model serves as a blueprint to facilitate communication, prioritisation of activities, and resource allocation, with key inputs including multi-partisan involvement, evidence-based approaches, skilled staff, and funding from various sources. It benefits from extensive and ongoing consultation, integrating a comprehensive industry understanding into its activities. MATES staff monitor current trends and keep up to date with new research and knowledge, to support experts in workplace mental health and suicide prevention.
Program activities are grouped into eight categories to aid understanding of the program structure:
Workforce Development and Support Activities – to ensure MATES staff are well-supported and skilled. They include formal and informal staff support, peer support, debriefing, professional development, and fun.
Raising Awareness Activities –that include GAT training, above and below the line advertising to enhance worker engagement with mental health and suicide
involves training Connectors and ASIST workers as people to approach for assistance and on-site support.
Engagement Activities – where field workers coordinate ongoing engagement and support for Connectors and ASIST workers, reinforcing awareness and capacity on-site.
Providing Help Activities – that include social support, connecting workers to help, and postvention support following critical incidents.
Ongoing Industry Consultation Activities – to ensure MATES remains in touch with emerging evidence and practice developments.
Research and Evaluation Activities –to ensure continuous improvement of the program.
Advocacy for, and Leadership in, Industry-Based Suicide Prevention Activities – to promote MATES values and practices across the industry.
Outcomes and Evaluation
The program’s short-term goals include improved awareness of suicide and mental health issues, increased mental health literacy, reduced stigma, and enhanced helping behaviours, and reducing public stigma against mental illness.
In the medium term, it hopes to elevate the reputational value of staff, increase social inclusion, and reduce discrimination based on mental health status. Engagement and capacity-building activities are aimed at fostering new interpersonal connections and improving interpersonal relations and resilience.
Eventually, the desired outcome is to realise reduced levels of distress and suicidality in the construction workforce.
Previous evaluations have demonstrated the program's social validity, effectiveness in shifting beliefs around suicide, and improving suicide prevention literacy and helping behaviours. It continues to be evaluated for its implementation and effectiveness.
Key positive outcomes from the program include:
Improved Communication MATES training has improved communication with colleagues, family, and friends, and enhanced the ability to cope with financial and work-related stressors.
Increased Awareness and Knowledge
Volunteers (Connectors) have reported improved awareness and knowledge of suicide in construction, decreased stigma, and increased skills and confidence in identifying someone experiencing personal difficulties.
Direct Support and Referrals
Case management clients have found that MATES provides direct support through case workers and referrals to professional help. Clients appreciate the prompt service and regular contact with case managers, which have positive effects on their families.
Enhanced Social Connections
The program has led to increased workplace social connections, fostering a supportive environment where workers feel encouraged to seek and offer help.
Reduced Stigma MATES activities have contributed to reducing stigma against mental illness, leading to more frequent use of stigma-free language and increased social inclusion at work.
Positive Feedback Loop
Engagement and capacity-building activities, as well as experiences of receiving support, have encouraged workers and volunteers to interact.
While encouraging, continued efforts and improvements are necessary to sustain and enhance positive outcomes. Because Life Matters.

Fresh Start for the New Year
Embracing Healthier Eating Habits and Lifestyle Choices in the Civil Construction Industry
Nationally, the construction industry accounts for about 10% of our Gross National Product (GDP), generating income and employing about 1.37 million people with about 9 % in civil and engineering construction. While it has grown to become the fifth largest sector of the economy, it is also consistently ranked among the industries with the poorest dietary practices.
Poor nutrition can potentially and adversely impact not only work performance but increase the incidence of accidents and/or injury. While it is not something new to a country hovering around the 10th position in world obesity ranking, up until now, there has not been enough done to address the issue.
Unhealthy Eating Habits and Poor Nutrition
So, as we approach the holiday season and the inevitable wave of 'New Year, New Me' resolutions, it presents an ideal opportunity to check the prevalence of unhealthy eating habits.
Unhealthy eating is understandable, given the demanding nature of construction work. After a long day on-site, opting for a quick and convenient fast-food meal often feels like the easiest, and sometimes, more affordable choice. Data collected by the CSIRO, Australia’s National Science Agency, indicates that workers are selecting takeaway food, chocolate, and cakes more frequently than vegetables and fruits. Consumption of these processed foods can lead to inflammation in the body and brain. That may in turn bring about mood disorders like anxiety and depression.
Again, according to CSIRO, construction workers have the lowest quality diets, scoring 51 out of 100. Additionally, our consumption of discretionary foods (junk foods) is excessive, averaging 28 servings per week. These eating behaviors and nutritional inadequacies, coupled with the physical
demands of our industry, can have significantly detrimental effects on the wellbeing of our workforce.
Leading the Way to Implementing Positive Changes
So, how can employers play a role in promoting healthier eating habits? Simple, yet impactful steps can make a difference. An example could be to provide a bowl of fresh fruit in the breakroom. Easy. Some of the healthiest fruits include berries, oranges and apples. With the abundance of delicious and locally grown seasonal produce, one can only feel spoiled for choice.
Employers can also offer educational resources on the benefits of healthy eating. And the right sort of diet to adopt like consuming more protein for muscle repair and recovery, especially for those who work outdoors.
Another way is by stocking vending machines with nutritious, quick meal options (containing oats, brown rice and nuts etc) to promote healthier eating habits, instead of the usual sugary confectionary treats and calorific fizzy drinks.
These are but a few effective ways to encourage better food choices among workers. That’s vitally important because people generally consume about one third of their daily calories at work so diet can affect health and work performance. Improved productivity and lesser sick leaves from healthier staff will benefit everyone at work. And potentially contribute to healthier bottom lines for businesses too!
In other words, by implementing these small changes, employers can help to foster a culture of health and wellbeing within the workplace. While addressing diet choices and practices are by no means the only ways to be healthy, it is easy enough for people to start helping themselves improve their quality of life and work.
Let’s usher in the New Year with a New Me by encouraging everyone at work to eat healthily and sensibly. With a bit of determination and perseverance, people can help each other to live it up in the pink of health. Cheers!
