Practice Description

Backed by over 20 years’ experience, coupled with an extensive understanding of the complexities of the industry, extensive customer and client relationships and invaluable voice of lived experience, OzHelp is a national leader in providing health and wellbeing programs for workers in
high-risk, hard to reach industries.

OzHelp’s outreach approach takes support directly to workplaces and communities across Australia, with a specific focus on the building, construction, transport and logistics industries.

OzHelp was established in 2001 after David O’Bryan, a young building apprentice from Canberra, took his own life. That same year, three others who were connected to the ACT building and construction industry died by suicide within a three-month period.

These events brought together David’s mother Loraine O’Bryan with representatives from the Master Builders Association (MBA) ACT and the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union ACT Branch (CFMEU) who sought action to address the wellbeing and care of industry apprentices. The collaboration between Loraine, the CFMEU, the MBA and the ACT Government was instrumental in the formation of OzHelp.
