Story
My Father was an army veteran of Malaysia he told me stories of patrolling through the jungle and the difficulties being wet, hot and tired for long periods and the terrible conditions they had to endure.
To do the Kokoda trek for me would be to understand some of the trying conditions those men had to endure and in doing so be able to raise funds for MIC. Please help me raise much needed funds by donating for suicide awareness & prevention.
Activity
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.
