Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre
Story
Friends and Family,
I am happy to announce that throughout May 2024, our PICAC Pipe Trades Training Centre team and our organisation will be taking on the physical and fundraising challenge of the MATES Big Lap. My goal is to commit to and complete a specific amount of physical activity by tracking the kilometres I cover each day, all while raising awareness and funds for MATES IN CONSTRUCTION. The distance covered by each participant will be added together to hopefully achieve one Big Lap of Australia!
Mental health, suicide awareness, and suicide prevention are all - independently and collectively - important causes to those in the construction industry but in the wider communities we live and raise our families in.
There will be regular updates throughout the month to keep you all up to date on the Big Lap progress. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference and help MATES continue their crucial work.
Thank you for joining me, the Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre, and MATES IN CONSTRUCTION on this journey towards a healthier and more aware community.

Every dollar counts toward helping MATES do the job of suicide prevention in our industry!
MATES in Construction is a for the industry, by the industry, not for profit that exists to strengthen the construction, mining and energy industries by preventing suicide; because a life saved is one less family grieving, one less site devastated and one less community heartbroken.
MATES is an evidence-based program that reduces stigma and promotes mentally healthier workplaces through training and support. MATES Field Officers deliver training to sites and keep in contact if anyone is in need, while MATES Support is available 24/7 to workers and their families who may be doing it tough.

If you or your mate is struggling, talk to a Connector or call the MATES 24/7 Helpline on 1300 642 111.
