Built for the road

Mind the Road

Mental health and fatigue awareness training built for the people who keep Australia moving.

The Problem

The road is hard on the mind. Nobody talks about it.

Significant

Research consistently shows heavy vehicle drivers experience psychological distress at rates well above the general working population.

Among the Highest

Suicide rates in the transport industry are among the highest of any workplace in Australia — Safe Work Australia.

Too Many

A significant proportion of drivers report having no one to talk to while out on the road.
