A PLATFORM FOR MENTAL HEALTH

WA MINING 2025 IS PRIORITISING MENTAL HEALTH DISCUSSION THROUGH ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH LIFELINE WA.

- 

The WA Mining Conference & Exhibition (WA Mining) continues to position itself as a key platform for driving innovation and leadership across the state's booming resources sector.

To be held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre from October 8-9, WA Mining 2025 will foster safer, supportive workplaces through its partnership with Lifeline WA. The mental health organisation is the official charity partner for WA Mining, allowing Lifeline WA to start conversations in the sector and embed it as a core element of worker safety and wellbeing.

“Being part of WA Mining allows Lifeline WA to connect directly with the people and organisations shaping the resources sector,” Lifeline WA chief executive officer Lorna MacGregor told Australian Mining.

“Our goal is to embed mental health into the fabric of these conversations, not as a side issue but as a core part of safety, leadership and culture.”

Lifeline WA believes visibility is paramount, especially in the case of workers operating in high-pressure, remote environments. Through its presence at WA Mining, the organisation aims to make support visible and accessible to those who need it most.

WA Mining brings together a broad cross-section of the industry – including frontline workers, decision-makers and innovators – making it an ideal platform to raise awareness and initiate meaningful change.
