Kokoda Challenge

Join us as we pay our respects to our wartime heroes of old and walk with MATES for our friends at MATES. The Kokoda Track stretches 96 kilometres through what is arguably some of the most rugged and wild jungle in the world. This track holds an extremely important place in Australia’s history. In its 8th year, you can be part of raising much needed funds and be part of saving lives in your industry.

Training Events

Our training events equip workers with the skills to recognise warning signs of mental ill-health and suicide, and to take safe, practical steps to offer support. Through sessions like General Awareness Talks (GAT), Connector and ASIST, participants learn how to build a stronger, more connected workplace where help-seeking is normalised and stigma is reduced.

Host a Fundraising Event

Hosting a MATES fundraising event is a powerful way to support suicide prevention and mental health in the construction industry. Whether it's a BBQ, fun run, raffle, or community challenge, these events raise vital funds while bringing people together to start conversations, reduce stigma, and show that we’re stronger together. Every dollar raised helps MATES deliver life-saving training and on-site support across worksites and industries.
