Mining Sector

Frontline Mental Health has partnered with leading organisations in the mining industry to promote inclusive and productive workplaces.

Workers in the mining industry experience unique and often isolated working conditions and this can lead to poor mental health. We're here to educate your workforce with the skills they need to stay mentally strong.

The challenges they face

Some of the common challenges they encounter include:

• Remote working conditions - Fly in fly out rosters can lead to fatigue and a sense of isolation.
• Workload - Long working days and extended on site rosters can be mentally taxing.
• Workplace hazards - Exposure to health and safety hazards unique to mining workers can lead to higher levels of stress and anxiety compared to workers in other industries.
• Work-life balance - Maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be challenging in roles that require extended periods away from home.
• Job satisfaction - Portions of the mining workforce report low job satisfaction due to the pressures they experience.
• Male dominated workforce - The industry is traditionally male dominated with some employees experiencing loneliness and isolation from social networks.
• Burnout - Heavy workloads and inadequate resources at isolated worksites can lead to burnout and poor mental health.

As an organisation in the mining industry, you have a legal obligation to your employees to provide a psychologically safe workplace. Our training is backed by research from Curtin and Griffith Universities and will empower your employees to promote positive change.
