NTI partners with Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds initiative

Transport and logistics insurer, NTI, has made a multi-year investment towards the mental health and wellbeing of all members of the Australian supply chain.

This week it announced it had joined as a top-tier “Open Road” partner of Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds, a not-for-profit initiative charged with creating a single national mental health plan for the commercial road transport industry.

NTI CEO Tony Clark said the company is excited to partner with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), the Australian Trucking Association (ATA), and other industry heavyweights to play a vital role in how mental health and wellbeing is viewed and valued across the industry.

“We know being a transport operator is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country both physically and mentally,” he said in a statement.

NTI has a long history of providing 24/7 access to mental health and wellbeing services to customers.

“Our partnership with Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds is about taking this further to ensure everyone in the industry has access to help and education about mental health and wellbeing,” Clark said.

“We’re not just about keeping trucks on the road and sustaining businesses — it stems further than that. We’re talking about individuals, families and livelihoods,” he said.

“For an industry to thrive we need to engage and take care of its greatest asset – its people.”

Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds will host an official online launch event on Tuesday 18 August 2020.

Former Australian Trucking Association Chair Geoff Crouch currently serves as the organisation's director.

Other commercial partners include Linfox, Woolworths, Toll, Qube Holdings and Ron Finemore Transport.
