Supporting MATES in Construction
The alliance is delighted to become a Premium Plus sponsor of MATES in Construction, an organisation helping to reduce the lives lost to suicide in the construction industry.
Alliance project director Matt Zame says that the five organisations of the alliance have been affected by suicide and the ripples it causes. "Suicide has a profound and lasting impact on the families, friends and colleagues of their lost loved ones. We’re keen to see change in the industry to ensure all of our people are safe and well. We’ve partnered with MATES to help achieve that change and to support our people to ask for help when they’re feeling low, as a regular part of life."
MATES is proud to be a part of the support team for the project looking after the alliance’s workers on site and in the project offices, too. We are stronger together.
