Story
I'm thrilled to announce that I'm finally ticking off a long-standing item from my bucket list by trekking the Kokoda trail! But instead of simply selecting any travel organization, I've opted to make this adventure even more meaningful by turning it into a fundraising opportunity for a cause close to my heart.
I've decided to support the MATES in Construction initiative through my Kokoda trek fundraiser. MATES in Construction focuses on preventing suicide, especially among men in male-dominated industries such as construction, mining, and energy. Did you know that in Australia, 9 people take their lives every day, with a significant portion being men in these fields? This initiative provides crucial support on the ground, aiming to identify and assist individuals struggling with mental health issues.
By fundraising for MATES, I'm not just fulfilling a personal goal; I'm also contributing to a cause that saves lives and promotes mental well-being in our communities.
I'm making a difference by fundraising for this cause that's close to our hearts. Please support my efforts by making a secure online donation and posting a message of support.
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly to my chosen charity. Thank you so much for your support!"

MATES in Construction (QLD & NT) Ltd
MATES in Construction is a charity set up in 2008 to reduce the high level of suicide among Australian construction workers. It is owned and controlled by the Australian Building and Construction Industry.
MATES in Construction provide community development programs on sites and support workers in need through case management and a 24/7 help line. In a joint venture with the Oz-Help Foundation, MATES in Construction also provide Life Skills Toolbox training to apprentices and young workers.
MATES in Construction is based on the simple idea that “suicide is everyone’s business” and that if the building and construction industry in Australia is to improve the mental health and wellbeing of workers and to reduce suicide then it cannot be left to the mental health professionals, but rather everyone in the industry must play their part.
MATES in Construction is independent of employers and unions and never works directly for a particular employer, but for the construction industry generally. Programs are delivered across the industry regardless of employer and / or union affiliation.
MATES in Construction operates in Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia through independently managed and financed organisations, within an overall MATES in Construction Australia structure which was set up in October 2013
MATES in Construction refers to one or more of the independent national or state-based organisations of the MATES in Construction group, all of which are Australian companies limited by guarantee. Each state-based organisation is a member of the national organisation, MATES in Construction (Aust) Limited. Each MATES in Construction organisation is a separate legal entity and has no liability for another entity's acts and omissions. MATES in Construction is the brand name for the MATES in Construction group and is used by each separate MATES in Construction organisation.
