Mates supporting mates
time to make a change one life lost is one life too many! the youth crew have come together as mates to raise awareness to help support mates and those members and loved ones in need ! please help donate big all small, we are striving to make a change and you can too please follow our journey see you all at the finish line one step at a time #itsnotweaktospeakHope can happen!
LNP have decided they want to take away 1.6Million of funding for mates in construction! This would cripple our industry astronomically, The support Mates in Construction offer is second to none and I have used this service for over 40+ people in the past year, The difference this fund makes in our lives on and off the job site is worth every cent, a cause I’m 10293% behind! Suicide is not inevitable for anyone, by starting the conversation, providing support and directing help to those who need it, we can prevent suicide and save lives with the help of Mates. I have completed both the assist and connector courses through Mates and can confidently say I have been able to make an impact on the job site due to education and Training provided through this amazing cause. This life, this night, your story, your pain, your hope, it matters! All of it matters, your life matters. Get behind the Mates Big Lap, join in, donate, keep mates fighting for mates! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽Mates supporting mates
We're fundraising for...
This April, we taking on the MATES Big Lap 2025—running, walking, swimming, and cycling our way through the challenge all April. It’s not just about pushing ourselves physically, but about taking a stand for suicide prevention in our industry.
Every step, every lap, and every drop of sweat is about raising awareness and making sure no one struggles in silence. Every dollar raised helps MATES continue their life-saving work, supporting workers and their families across all worksites and industries.
We will be sharing updates throughout the month—every bit of support counts. Let’s run, walk, swim, and ride together for a stronger, safer industry.
Thank you to our Sponsors

It's so very sad, there is so much Mental Health out there, leaving no hope for some to continue on. My heart goes out to all those families friends and mates etc that have lost a loved one, through suicide. My thoughts and prayers go out to all, that are suffering from mental health. So very proud of you son. All the best on your challenge Love always XOXO
