TEN YEARS OF TRACKSAFE

This year has marked an important milestone, the TrackSAFE Foundation’s 10th anniversary.

We remain committed to our purpose, to reduce fatalities, injuries and near hits on the rail network caused by suicide, trespass, and human error.

Ultimately, reducing incidents and near hits reduces the impacts on our people, and this continues to be a key driver for TrackSAFE as we move into our next decade.

As a registered charity, TrackSAFE relies on the generosity of our supporters. I would like to thank our founding donors UGL and the Australasian Railway Association, along with 50+ organisations from across the rail supply chain who support us via an annual donation.

Over this next decade we will continue to:

» focus measures to reduce the national rate of suicide on the rail network.

» increase knowledge amongst the Australian community of how to stay safe on and around rail, and

» bring the rail community together to share knowledge and insights, and to help support our fellow workmates.

REASONABLE RESOLUTIONS

For many of us, the new year marks time for setting goals.

While a new language or mastering an instrument might be yours, there’s no doubt that focussing on our mental fitness will serve us well.

Just like our physical fitness, mental fitness is another way of taking care of yourself.

Mental fitness is about taking some regular time out to build your inner strength, mental health and resilience, preparing you to deal with life’s stresses and difficulties.
