MATES in Construction is an industry-based charity established in 2008, aimed at reducing high levels of suicide in the Australian construction industry.
MATES is an industry-led, research-backed charity, that is building a volunteer network of eyes and ears on the ground, trained to recognise the signs a workmate might be struggling with life and connect them to help.
We lose a construction worker to suicide every second day. We also know that construction workers are 6 x times more likely to die from suicide than an accident at work.
In the last 12 months 30% our apprentices have thought about suicide.
A suicide is said to impact at least 135 people (conservatively).
In 2021, MATES in Construction was recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as an example of global suicide prevention best practice.
Our 24/7 National helpline is: 1300 642 111
MATES Branches: Queensland, Northern Territory, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia
