MATES in Construction is a charity established in 2008 to reduce the high level of suicide among Australian construction workers. They are unique in that they foster ownership and control of the program with the Australian building and construction industry.

The MATES in Construction program is based on the 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. It is based on community development models aimed at creating structures on construction sites; connecting workers in need to high quality help.

Their help-offering model builds a community of people who can look out for support and each other - “mates looking out for mates” - rather than providing a service people need to go looking for.

- Manage day-to-day operational activities of direct reports - 5

- High level of organisational and leadership skills
- Professional approach and personal accountability
