 Joel leads a team of passionate individuals who are on a mission to address the fact that a construction worker commits suicide every 2 days. Of those who committed suicide 93% did not seek help or know where to find it. Foremind aims to make access to mental health support simple for workers, providing resources and access to clinicians as easy as clicking a button. Joels experience comes from first hand experience with mental health in the construction and engineering industry, he now applies his skillset to utilise technology to support creating a suicide free industry. 

Diversity & equality are critical factors in creating a positive company culture. It can't rest on a few individuals shoulders to create, everyone is responsible for fostering this environment. 

2026 Ambassador Statement: There have been massive positive changes in the industry over the past 10 years when it comes to mental health awareness, however there is still a big gap in ensuring that workers across Australia have the access to the same quality support as other industries. Foremind is proud to be a driving force in this continued push to put mental health support in the pocket of every worker.
