Consul General at Embassy of Ireland, Australia & Consulate General of Ireland (New South Wales)
Together with our partners in Enterprise Ireland Australia & New Zealand Ireland, the Embassy of Ireland, Australia & Consulate General of Ireland (New South Wales) was honoured to sponsor the recent Club Hibernia event on 'Mental Health in the Construction Sector'. The impact of adverse mental health on those employed in the construction sector is confronting with one construction worker lost every second day to suicide. Construction is one of the main sectors of employment for many Irish migrants, and as a result the Consulate is working to support our community within this sector. Through our partnership with Club Hibernia and Enterprise Ireland Australia & New Zealand Ireland we delivered an event which featured impactful and inspirational speakers including Marc Niemes from I Am Here, Brad Parker from MATES in Construction, Tadhg Kennelly of WNOW - When No One's Watching, legendary athlete Dan Parks, and Natalie Galea, an Olympian and construction researcher. Thanks to all those who attended and for being part of shining a light on this vital discussion.
