Tradie resources

Backing our tradies.

The trade's a tough gig. Long days, early starts, the pressure of running a business, chasing payments, and keeping everyone happy, it adds up. And too often, tradies are expected to just harden up and get on with it.

We reckon that's rubbish. Looking after yourself, and looking out for your mates, is just as much a part of the job as doing the work right.

Keep an eye on your mates. If someone on site has gone quiet, seems flat, is drinking more, or just isn't themselves lately, don't let it slide. A simple, you alright, mate? can go a long way.

And if it's you that's struggling, there's no shame in it. Talk to someone you trust, a mate, your boss, your partner. You don't have to carry it on your own.

And if you or a mate need someone to talk to, MATES in Construction runs a free, twenty four seven support line built for the trade. Give them a call on 0800 111 315.

We're building TradieMatch to back tradies, not just with work, but as people. Because a strong trade is built on strong people looking out for each other.
