Suicide trends among Australian construction workers during years 2001–2019 2022 cover

Version:  2022.  (Current)
This study provides evidence of a decline in suicide rates among Australian construction workers over the last two decades; this decline may be attributable to the combined effects of population-wide, male-specific, and sector-specific suicide prevention efforts over this same period, suggesting that the continuation or expansion of such efforts may lead to further declines.
Construction Workforce’s Mental Health: Research and Policy Alignment in the Australian Construction Industry 2023 cover

Version:  2023.  (Current)
The Australian construction industry is facing a mental health crisis; poor mental health indicators are significantly higher than the all-industry average. This paper addresses the knowledge gap by reporting the results of a systematic review of peer-reviewed mental health research and reveals significant misalignment between existing research and Australian government regulation.
