Digging Deep for a Cause That Matters | The Big Dig 2026

This November, I'm proud to be taking part in The Big Dig 2026, a 24-hour charity event supporting MATES in Construction WA and their important work in mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

As a civil engineer, I've seen how much dedication, teamwork and resilience it takes to work in the construction industry. Behind every project, every structure and every achievement are people, and their wellbeing matters just as much as the work they do.

In an industry where we place so much emphasis on physical safety, I believe mental health deserves the same attention.

I'm participating in The Big Dig not just to pick up a shovel, but to help raise awareness, encourage meaningful conversations and contribute to an industry where looking out for one another is part of our everyday culture.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Your support will help MATES in Construction WA continue its important work supporting people across our industry.

If you're able to contribute, I would genuinely appreciate your support. And if donating isn't possible, simply sharing this page can help spread the message.

Let's dig deep, start conversations and look out for our mates.

Thank you for your kindness and support!
