introduction
What is OzSupport?
OzSupport is a dedicated construction industry program making sure that apprentices and workers are able to keep moving forward in their personal and professional lives. The service includes:
Apprentice support
The move from school and the first few years in the construction industry can be hard. If you are needing some new ideas for issues at home or at work the OzHelp Support Services have a whole range of resources that might help.
Worker support
The building and construction industry is known as a tough industry, however, problems find a way to effect us all, no matter how tough we might think we are. Whether it be stress at work or at home, relationship difficulties, or you’ve been feeling down for too long, talking to someone can help.
Contact an OzSupport worker if there are personal, work or home related issues that are holding you back from enjoying life or affecting your ability to work safely and efficiently on site. Family members are also eligible for support. All OzHelp Counsellors are professionally trained, understand the industry and are committed to working in a confidential and respectful manner.
Issues with which we can help are as follows:
- Conflict resolution & communication
- Financial stress & debt management
- Relationship & family difficulties
- Dealing with anger & other strong emotions
- Addictions
- Depression
- Thoughts of self harm
- Dealing with grief & loss
- Problem solving at work & home
Confidentiality
- OzHelp is independent from employers
Each team member is bound by strict ethics relating to privacy and is committed to providing respectful and confidential services.
If any of the above are issues which affect you, contact OzHelp to request an appointment or a field visit. OzHelp Field Officers can catch up with you at a time and place that suits you, even on site, and assist you in finding some practical solutions.
