Mental Health & Wellbeing

your wellbeing is important to us and our industry…

We believe in protecting our vibrant hospitality community. That means our people and venues are positive and productive, get the best out of everyone, and are great places to work.

We know that sometimes our industry can take a toll on physical and mental health and wellbeing especially right now, when so many are impacted from economic downturn through loss of business, income and jobs.

We want to support and build a strong, mentally healthy industry that can improve the quality of life of so many people in our community whose livelihoods depend on a thriving Tasmanian hospitality sector.

what support do you need?

There is a lot of support and resources out there, but we know that it can feel overwhelming, so we’re sharing available information from some of the most trusted mental health organisations so you know where to go, no matter what you need, whenever you need it.
