MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
Prioritising mental health is paramount in the mining and resources industry
Challenging working conditions can involve constant physical exertion over long hours, isolation from family and friends, and hazardous conditions among many other demands. All of these factors, individually and concurrently, can and will take a toll on the mental health of workers. It's essential to take care of mental wellbeing to ensure a healthy, productive and sustainable workforce. Most importantly, so that everybody returns home safe.
Mental health challenges, such as stress, anxiety and depression, can lead to higher rates of accidents and injuries. By promoting mental health awareness, providing support systems and encouraging personal responsibility, this benefits not only individual workers but also our families, communities, and the industry as a whole. Investing in mental health initiatives is not just a moral imperative, but also a strategic one for ensuring the long term success and sustainability of the mining and resources sector in Australia.
