- Over one quarter of Australians will experience an anxiety condition in their lifetime
- According to beyondblue one in six Australians will experience depression in their lifetime. That’s 3.2 million people!
- $10.9 billion lost every year in absenteeism, reduced productivity and compensation claims
- 3-4 sick days are taken each month for untreated depression
- Half of managers think no-one in their workplace is affected by mental illness
These are confronting statistics, so it’s unsurprising that mental health is considered by young Australian’s as the top issue in Australia according to Mission Australia’s 2018 Youth Survey.
Amanda Energy supports a future where mental health and wellbeing is a priority in all aspects of life. We want to play an active role in the community and business to speak up, seek help where needed and improve wellbeing through activity.
“We are proud of our positive workspace at Amanda Energy – our team enjoy regular activities that promote a healthy mental space and we have a team BBQ every week. Remy, the office dog always brings a smile, and we are walking distance from the beach!” says Amanda Energy Director, Martin Jurat.
